For persons with HIV/AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and adequately addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their drug/alcohol addiction. Keeping this client in recovery is not only imperative for their well-being, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others if their drug problem continue.
Often, clients who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time have let their bodies decline because of the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore urgently need serious medical intervention once they do get drug rehabilitation. Aside from treatment for their drug addiction, in a rehab center which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical evaluation to see if they are experiencing any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.
