For persons with HIV or AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their drug addiction. Keeping this client in recovery is not only essential for their safety, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others should their substance abuse issue continue or worsen.
Often, clients who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time may have let their health fall apart because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore urgently need serious medical intervention once they receive alcohol or drug rehabilitation. Aside from treatment for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a rehab center which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical exam to see whether they have any other problems 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.
