For people with HIV or AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their prior continuing medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their drug addiction. Getting and keeping this client in rehab is not only imperative for their well-being, but for the good of the public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others should their drug or alcohol issue continue.
Often, people who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently have let their bodies fall apart because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore need significant medical intervention once they receive drug or alcohol addiction rehabilitation. Aside from treatment for their drug addiction, in a rehab facility which provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical evaluation to see if they have any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.
