Being diagnosed with HIV/AIDS may trigger drug use, or dangerous sexual conduct as a result of abusing drugs may have caused the individual to contract the illness. Folks who suffer from HIV/AIDS, either as a result of their drug use or as a pre-existing condition before their substance abuse problem, typically require treatment services tailor-made to satisfy their specific needs and problems. Many of these problems are physical in nature, due to the fact that drug users with HIV/AIDS rarely care for themselves and take the appropriate medicines they need to maintain 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 addressing other critical concerns. In addition to the obvious requirement to offer medical solutions while in rehab, those that have HIV/AIDS should also tackle deeper problems which prompted their drug or alcohol use. Very often, people have circumstances in their lives which are strictly environmental which may have caused them to turn to drugs or alcohol, such as oppressive conditions in their lives or damaging relationships. These are the issues which rehab professionals will focus on as part of HIV/AIDS treatment services.
