For people with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their prior chronic medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their drug/alcohol addiction. Keeping this client in rehab is not only central for their safety, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others should their substance abuse problem continue or worsen.
In many cases, individuals who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time may 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. Most stop taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may need critical medical intervention once they get alcohol or drug rehab. Aside from treatment for their addiction, in a facility which provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a full medical assessment to determine if they have any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.
