For people with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their pre-existing chronic 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 treatment is not only essential for their well-being, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others in the case their substance abuse problem continue.
Often, clients who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently have let their health decline because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may require serious medical help once they do reach addiction treatment. Aside from treatment for their drug addiction, in a rehabilitation center that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical assessment to see whether they have any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.
