For persons with HIV/AIDS who also battle with addiction, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and addressed simultaneously while they receive rehab for their drug/alcohol addiction. Getting and keeping this client in rehab is not only crucial for their well-being, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others should their drug problem continue or worsen.
In many cases, clients who fight with both issues concurrently may have let their health fall apart due to the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may need significant medical help once they do get alcohol or drug rehabilitation. Aside from rehab for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehabilitation center that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical assessment to see whether they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.
