For persons with HIV or AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their drug/alcohol addiction. Getting and keeping this client in rehab is not only imperative for their safety, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others should their drug issue continue or worsen.
In many cases, individuals who struggle with both issues concurrently may have let their bodies deteriorate due to the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may urgently need significant medical help once they do reach drug treatment. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug addiction, in a facility that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical evaluation to see whether they have any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.
