For people with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and adequately addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their drug addiction. Getting this client in treatment is not only imperative for their safety, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others if their substance abuse problem continue.
In many cases, individuals who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently have let their health decline because of the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore need critical medical intervention once they do get substance abuse treatment. Aside from rehab for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehabilitation facility that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical evaluation to see if they are experiencing any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.
