For people with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their prior chronic medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and addressed simultaneously while they receive treatment for their substance abuse. Getting and keeping this client in treatment is not only essential for their well-being, but for the good of the public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others should their substance abuse issue continue or worsen.
Often, people who battle with both issues at the same time have let their health deteriorate due to the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore require significant medical help once they do reach drug or alcohol addiction rehab. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a facility which provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical assessment to determine if they have any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.
