Being diagnosed with HIV/AIDS may set off drug use, or risky sexual conduct as a result of drug use could possibly have caused the person to contract the illness. People who have HIV/AIDS, either on account of their drug abuse or as a pre-existing condition before their substance abuse issue, typically require treatment services tailor-made to fulfill their particular demands and problems. Many of these problems are physical in nature, due to the fact that substance abusers with HIV/AIDS rarely care for themselves and take the appropriate medications they need to maintain their own health. Therefore, they arrive to rehab in very poor physical shape and this will have to be addressed as a priority while also addressing other important issues. Apart from the obvious necessity to offer medical solutions during rehab, people with HIV/AIDS must also deal with more deeply rooted issues which brought about their alcohol or drug use. Very often, people have conditions in their lives that are strictly environmental which may have caused them to use drugs or alcohol, such as oppressive conditions within their lives or damaging relationships. These are the concerns which treatment professionals will give attention to in HIV/AIDS rehabilitation services.
