For persons with HIV/AIDS who also battle with addiction, their prior continuing medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehab for their drug/alcohol addiction. Getting this client in rehab 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 should their drug or alcohol problem continue or worsen.
In many cases, people who fight with both issues concurrently may have let their health deteriorate due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may need serious medical help once they get drug or alcohol addiction treatment. Aside from treatment for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a rehabilitation center which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical assessment to determine if they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.
