Being diagnosed with HIV/AIDS may set off drug use, or risky sexual conduct as a result of substance abuse may have caused to contract the illness. People who have HIV/AIDS, either as a result of their drug abuse or as a pre-existing condition prior to their substance abuse issue, frequently require rehabilitation services tailor-made to meet their particular needs and problems. Some challenges are physical in nature, because of the fact that drug users with HIV/AIDS almost never care for themselves and take the appropriate medicines they need to maintain their health. As a result, these individuals arrive to rehabilitation in very poor health and this will have to be addressed as a priority while also addressing other critical concerns. Besides the obvious requirement to provide medical services during rehabilitation, people who have HIV/AIDS will also need to address more deeply rooted problems which prompted their drug or alcohol use. Frequently, people have circumstances within their lives which are strictly environmental which may have triggered them to turn to drugs or alcohol, such as oppressive conditions within their lives or damaging relationships. These are the issues which treatment professionals will give attention to in HIV/AIDS rehab services.
