For people with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their prior continuing medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and adequately addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their drug/alcohol addiction. Keeping this client in rehab is not only imperative for their safety, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others should their substance abuse problem continue.
Often, clients who fight with both issues concurrently may have let their bodies decline because of the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may urgently need significant medical intervention once they do get drug or alcohol addiction rehab. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehabilitation facility which provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical exam to see whether they have any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.
