Being diagnosed with HIV/AIDS may trigger substance abuse, or risky sexual conduct because of drug use may have caused the individual to contract the disease. People who have HIV/AIDS, either on account of their drug abuse or as a pre-existing condition just before their substance abuse issue, typically require treatment services tailor-made to fulfill their particular demands and problems. Many of these challenges are physical in nature, because of the fact that drug users with HIV/AIDS almost never take care of themselves and take the appropriate medications they need to preserve their own health. As a result, they arrive to treatment in very poor health and this will have to be addressed as a priority whilst dealing with other critical issues. In addition to the obvious requirement to offer medical services during rehabilitation, people with HIV/AIDS will also need to deal with deeper problems which prompted their drug or alcohol use. Often, individuals have conditions in their lives that are strictly environmental which may have caused them to use alcohol or drugs, such as oppressive situations in their lives or damaging relationships. These are the issues which rehabilitation professionals will target as part of HIV/AIDS rehabilitation services.
