For people with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their prior continuing medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their drug addiction. Getting this client in recovery is not only imperative for their safety, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others in the case their drug or alcohol issue continue.
In many cases, clients who struggle with both issues at the same time may have let their health deteriorate because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Most quit taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may need serious medical help once they do get substance abuse treatment. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehab facility which provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a full medical assessment to see whether they have any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.
