For people with HIV or AIDS who also battle with addiction, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their drug addiction. Getting this client in recovery 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 or alcohol issue continue or worsen.
Often, individuals who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently have let their health decline due to the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore need significant medical intervention once they do get addiction treatment. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehabilitation center which provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a full medical assessment to determine if they have any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.
