For people with HIV or AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their prior chronic medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their drug/alcohol addiction. Getting this client in recovery is not only essential for their safety, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others in the case their substance abuse problem continue.
Often, individuals who battle with both issues concurrently may have let their health decline because of the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore need serious medical help once they do reach alcohol or drug rehabilitation. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehabilitation facility that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a full medical assessment to see if they are experiencing any other illnesses 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 disorders.
