For people with HIV/AIDS who also battle with addiction, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol addiction. Getting and keeping this client in recovery is not only essential for their well-being, but for the good of the public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others in the case their drug or alcohol issue continue.
Often, individuals who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently have let their bodies deteriorate due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Some quit taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore require significant medical help once they receive alcohol or drug treatment. Aside from rehabilitation for their addiction, in a facility that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients 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 disorders.
