For people with HIV or AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their prior chronic medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their drug/alcohol addiction. Getting and keeping this client in treatment is not only essential for their well-being, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others in the case their substance abuse issue continue or worsen.
In many cases, clients who struggle with both issues concurrently may have let their health fall apart due to the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore require serious medical intervention once they get drug rehab. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehabilitation facility that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will get a full medical assessment to see whether they have any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.
