For persons with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their pre-existing continuing medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehab for their drug/alcohol addiction. Keeping this client in rehab is not only crucial for their well-being, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they may transmit their disease to others if their substance abuse issue continue or worsen.
Often, clients who fight with both issues concurrently have let their health decline because of the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Most quit taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may urgently need significant medical help once they do get alcohol or drug treatment. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehabilitation facility that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical exam to see if they have any other problems associated with their disease. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health problems.
