For persons with HIV or AIDS who also fight with addiction, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol addiction. Getting this client in recovery is not only crucial for their safety, but for the good of the public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others in the case their drug or alcohol problem continue.
Often, people who fight with both issues concurrently 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 require serious medical help once they do reach substance abuse rehab. Aside from treatment for their drug addiction, in a rehab facility that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical evaluation to see if they are experiencing any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.
