For persons with HIV or AIDS who also fight with addiction, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol addiction. Getting and keeping this client in treatment is not only central for their well-being, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others should their drug problem continue.
In many cases, individuals who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time may have let their health deteriorate 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, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore need serious medical intervention once they get alcohol or drug rehab. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug addiction, in a rehab facility which provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical exam to see if they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.
