For persons with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their prior chronic medical condition is something that will need to be acknowledged and addressed simultaneously while they receive treatment for their alcohol or drug addiction. Keeping this client in recovery is not only essential for their safety, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others in the case their drug issue continue or worsen.
