For persons with HIV or AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and addressed simultaneously while they receive treatment for their drug/alcohol addiction. Keeping this client in rehab is not only essential for their safety, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others if their drug or alcohol problem continue.
In many cases, people who fight with both issues at the same time may have let their bodies fall apart because of the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore need significant medical intervention once they receive addiction treatment. Aside from treatment for their drug addiction, in a rehabilitation center which provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will get a full medical assessment to see if they have any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.
