For persons with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their drug or alcohol addiction. Keeping this client in treatment is not only crucial for their safety, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others if their drug problem continue or worsen.
Often, clients who fight with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently have let their bodies fall apart due to the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Some stop taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore need critical medical help once they receive addiction rehab. Aside from treatment for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a rehab facility which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a full medical assessment to determine if they are experiencing any other problems associated with their disease. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.
