For persons with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their prior continuing medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and adequately addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their alcohol or drug addiction. Getting this client in recovery is not only crucial for their safety, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others should their drug problem continue.
Often, individuals who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently may have let their health decline because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Some quit taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore require serious medical intervention once they get drug or alcohol addiction rehab. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehabilitation facility which provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical exam to see whether they have any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.
