For persons with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their alcohol or drug addiction. Getting this client in rehab is not only imperative for their safety, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others in the case their drug issue continue.
Often, clients who struggle with both issues concurrently may 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 medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may urgently need serious medical help once they do get substance abuse rehab. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug addiction, in a facility that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a full medical assessment to see if they have 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.
