Being diagnosed with HIV/AIDS may set off substance abuse, or dangerous sexual conduct as a result of drug use may have caused the individual to contract the disease. Individuals who have HIV/AIDS, either on account of their drug use or as a pre-existing problem before their drug use problem, often require rehabilitation services tailor-made to fulfill their specific needs and problems. A few of these problems are physical in nature, because of the fact that drug users with HIV/AIDS rarely look after themselves and take the appropriate medicines they need to maintain their own health. Because of this, these individuals arrive to rehabilitation in very poor physical shape and this will have to be handled as a priority while dealing with other crucial issues. Besides the obvious necessity to supply medical services whilst in rehabilitation, those that have HIV/AIDS will also need to deal with more deeply rooted issues which brought about their alcohol or drug use. Very often, people have conditions within their lives that are purely environmental which may have caused them to turn to drugs or alcohol, such as oppressive conditions in their lives or detrimental relationships. These are the issues which treatment professionals will give attention to as part of HIV/AIDS treatment services.
