For people with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their prior continuing medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their substance abuse. Getting and keeping this client in treatment is not only essential for their safety, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others if their drug issue continue.
Often, clients who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time may have let their bodies decline due to the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Most quit taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may need significant medical intervention once they receive drug rehabilitation. Aside from rehabilitation for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a rehabilitation center that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical exam to determine if they are experiencing any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.
