For persons with HIV or AIDS who also fight 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 and keeping this client in treatment is not only central for their well-being, but for the good of the public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others should their drug issue continue.
Often, clients who fight with both issues concurrently may have let their bodies deteriorate because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Most quit taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore require significant medical intervention once they do reach addiction rehab. Aside from treatment for their addiction, in a rehab center that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical exam to see whether they have any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.
