Being diagnosed with HIV/AIDS may trigger substance abuse, or risky sexual conduct due to drug abuse may have caused the person to contract the disease. People who have HIV/AIDS, either as a result of their drug abuse or as a pre-existing condition before their substance abuse problem, frequently require treatment services tailored to fulfill their specific demands and challenges. Many of these problems are physical in nature, due to the fact that drug users with HIV/AIDS almost never take care of themselves and take the appropriate medicines they need to maintain their own health. As a result, they arrive to rehabilitation in very poor health and this will have to be handled as a priority while addressing other critical concerns. In addition to the obvious necessity to provide medical solutions whilst in rehab, individuals with HIV/AIDS must also tackle more deeply rooted problems which brought about their drug or alcohol use. Often, people have circumstances in their lives that are purely environmental which may have triggered them to use drugs or alcohol, such as oppressive conditions in their lives or negative relationships. These are the issues which rehab professionals will target in HIV/AIDS treatment services.
