For people with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that must be recognized and addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their drug or alcohol addiction. Keeping this client in rehab is not only central for their safety, but for the good of the public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others in the case their substance abuse problem continue or worsen.
Often, clients who struggle with both issues concurrently may have let their bodies decline due to the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore need serious medical intervention once they get addiction rehabilitation. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehab facility which provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical exam to determine if they have any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.
