Being diagnosed with HIV/AIDS may trigger drug abuse, or risky sexual conduct due to drug abuse may have caused the individual to contract the illness. Individuals who have HIV/AIDS, either because of their substance abuse or as a pre-existing problem prior to their drug use issue, often require treatment services tailor-made in order to meet their particular demands and challenges. A few of these challenges are physical in nature, due to the fact that drug users with HIV/AIDS hardly ever take care of themselves and take the appropriate medications they need to maintain their health. Therefore, these individuals arrive to rehab in very poor health and this will have to be addressed as a priority while dealing with other crucial issues. Apart from the obvious requirement to deliver medical solutions while in treatment, people who have HIV/AIDS also have to deal with deeper 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 drugs or alcohol, including oppressive situations within their lives or damaging relationships. These are the issues which rehabilitation professionals will focus on as part of HIV/AIDS rehabilitation services.
