For persons with HIV/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 simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their addiction. Keeping this client in treatment 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 problem continue.
Often, people who struggle 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 don't have HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore need significant medical help once they receive substance abuse rehabilitation. Aside from rehab for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a rehab center that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a full medical assessment to determine if they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.
