For people with HIV or AIDS who also fight 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 alcohol or drug addiction. Keeping this client in treatment is not only central for their safety, but for the good of the public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others if their substance abuse issue continue.
In many cases, people who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction 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 don't have HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may need critical medical help once they do get alcohol or drug rehab. Aside from rehab for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a facility that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical assessment to see whether they have any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.
