For persons with HIV/AIDS who also battle with addiction, their prior chronic medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and adequately addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their drug addiction. Getting and keeping this client in rehab is not only essential for their safety, but for the good of the public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others in the case their drug or alcohol problem continue.
Often, clients who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time have let their bodies fall apart due to the lack of care most addicted individuals show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Some quit taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may urgently need serious medical intervention once they do reach alcohol or drug rehabilitation. Aside from rehab for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehab facility which provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical exam to determine if they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.
