For people with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their prior chronic medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive treatment for their drug or alcohol addiction. 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 spread their disease to others in the case their substance abuse problem continue.
Often, people who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time may have let their bodies decline due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore require critical medical intervention once they do reach substance abuse rehabilitation. Aside from rehab for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a facility which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, clients will get a medical assessment to determine if they are experiencing any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.
