For people with HIV/AIDS who also battle with addiction, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and adequately addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their alcohol or drug addiction. Getting and keeping this client in recovery is not only central for their well-being, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others if their substance abuse issue continue.
Often, individuals who struggle with both issues concurrently have let their health deteriorate because of the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most stop taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may need significant medical help once they do reach addiction rehabilitation. Aside from rehab for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehab facility that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical evaluation to see 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.
