For persons with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their prior continuing medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their drug/alcohol addiction. Getting and keeping this client in recovery is not only imperative for their well-being, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others in the case their drug or alcohol problem continue or worsen.
In many cases, clients who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time have let their bodies decline because of the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Some quit taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore need critical medical help once they get substance abuse treatment. Aside from treatment for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a rehabilitation center which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical assessment to see if they are experiencing any other problems associated with their disease. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.
