Being diagnosed with HIV/AIDS may set off substance abuse, or risky sexual conduct due to drug abuse could have caused the person to contract the illness. People who have HIV/AIDS, either because of their drug use or as a pre-existing problem prior to their drug abuse problem, typically require rehabilitation services tailor-made in order to meet their particular demands and problems. Some challenges are physical in nature, due to the fact that drug users with HIV/AIDS almost never look after themselves and take the proper medications they need to maintain their own health. Consequently, these individuals arrive to rehabilitation in very poor health and this will have to be handled as a priority whilst addressing other important issues. Besides the obvious requirement to deliver medical solutions during treatment, people who have HIV/AIDS will also need to address more deeply rooted problems which prompted their alcohol or drug use. Usually, individuals have situations in their lives which are purely environmental which may have triggered them to use drugs or alcohol, such as oppressive circumstances in their lives or negative relationships. These are the concerns which rehabilitation professionals will concentrate on as part of HIV/AIDS rehabilitation services.
