For people with HIV or AIDS who also fight with a substance abuse problem, their prior continuing medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and addressed at the same time they receive treatment for their drug/alcohol addiction. Getting and keeping this client in recovery is not only crucial 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 problem continue.
In many cases, people who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently have let their bodies decline due to the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Many quit taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may need significant medical intervention once they do reach drug or alcohol addiction treatment. Aside from treatment for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a facility that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical evaluation to see if they have any other illnesses 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 problems.
