Being diagnosed with HIV/AIDS may trigger drug use, or dangerous sexual conduct as a result of substance abuse could have caused the individual to contract the illness. Individuals who have HIV/AIDS, either due to their substance abuse or as a pre-existing problem before their drug abuse problem, often require treatment services tailor-made in order to meet their particular demands and challenges. A few of these challenges are physical in nature, because of the fact that drug users with HIV/AIDS almost never care for themselves and take the proper medications they need to maintain their health. Because of this, they arrive to rehabilitation in very poor physical shape and this will have to be addressed as a priority while also dealing with other critical concerns. In addition to the obvious requirement to offer medical services whilst in treatment, people with HIV/AIDS should also deal with more deeply rooted issues which brought about their alcohol or drug use. Usually, individuals have situations within their lives which are purely environmental which may have caused them to use alcohol or drugs, such as oppressive conditions in their lives or damaging relationships. These are the concerns which rehabilitation professionals will concentrate on as part of HIV/AIDS treatment services.
