For persons with HIV or AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their prior continuing medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and adequately addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their alcohol or drug addiction. Keeping this client in rehab is not only essential for their safety, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others should their substance abuse problem continue.
Often, people who fight with both issues concurrently may have let their bodies decline due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore need significant medical intervention once they do get drug treatment. Aside from rehab for their addiction, in a rehabilitation facility which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical assessment to see if they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.
