For persons with HIV/AIDS who also battle with addiction, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive treatment for their alcohol or drug addiction. Getting and keeping this client in treatment is not only essential for their well-being, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others in the case their drug problem continue.
Often, people who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time may have let their bodies fall apart due to the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may urgently need serious medical help once they do get drug treatment. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehab facility that provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical evaluation to determine if they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.
