For people with HIV or AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their substance abuse. Getting and keeping this client in recovery is not only essential for their well-being, but for the good of the public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others in the case their drug or alcohol issue continue or worsen.
In many cases, clients who fight with both issues at the same time may have let their health decline because of the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Some quit taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may need serious medical intervention once they do get addiction rehabilitation. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehabilitation center which provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a full medical assessment to see if they have any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.
