For people with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and addressed at the same time they receive rehab for their alcohol or drug addiction. Getting this client in rehab is not only essential for their safety, but for the safety of the general public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others if their drug or alcohol problem continue.
Often, individuals who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction at the same time 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 stop taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may need critical medical intervention once they do reach substance abuse rehabilitation. Aside from rehab for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a rehabilitation facility which provides treatment for people with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical exam to see whether they have any other illnesses associated with their disease. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.
