For persons with HIV/AIDS who also fight with addiction, their prior continuing medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehab for their substance abuse. Keeping this client in recovery is not only essential for their well-being, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others in the case their drug problem continue or worsen.
In many cases, individuals who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time have let their health fall apart due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore urgently need significant medical intervention once they receive drug or alcohol addiction rehabilitation. Aside from treatment for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a facility which provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical assessment to see if they have any other problems associated with their disease. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.
