For people with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their drug addiction. Getting and keeping this client in rehab is not only central for their safety, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others should their drug or alcohol issue continue.
In many cases, people who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently may have let their bodies fall apart because of the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore need serious medical help once they do get drug or alcohol addiction rehab. Aside from rehabilitation for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a rehab facility that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical evaluation to see whether they have any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.
