For persons with HIV/AIDS who also fight with addiction, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol addiction. Getting and keeping this client in rehab is not only imperative for their well-being, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others if their drug issue continue or worsen.
Often, clients who battle with both issues concurrently have let their bodies decline because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Some quit taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and may need serious medical intervention once they receive substance abuse rehab. Aside from rehab for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a rehabilitation facility that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical evaluation to see whether they have any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.
