For people with HIV or AIDS who also battle with addiction, their prior continuing medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their drug/alcohol addiction. Getting this client in recovery is not only central for their safety, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others if their drug or alcohol issue continue.
Often, people who battle 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 don't have HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore urgently need serious medical help once they get addiction rehab. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug addiction, in a rehab center which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical exam to see whether they have any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.
