Being diagnosed with HIV/AIDS may trigger drug use, or risky sexual conduct as a result of drug abuse could have caused the individual to contract the illness. Individuals who have HIV/AIDS, either on account of their substance abuse or as a pre-existing condition prior to their substance abuse problem, typically require treatment services tailor-made to satisfy their particular demands and problems. Some problems are physical in nature, because of the fact that drug users with HIV/AIDS very rarely take care of themselves and take the proper medicines they need to maintain their own health. Consequently, they arrive to rehabilitation in very poor health and this will have to be addressed as a priority while addressing other important concerns. Aside from the obvious necessity to offer medical solutions while in rehab, people who have HIV/AIDS also have to deal with deeper problems which prompted their drug or alcohol use. Very often, individuals have circumstances in their lives which are purely environmental which may have caused them to turn to drugs or alcohol, such as oppressive situations within their lives or damaging relationships. These are the concerns which treatment professionals will focus on in HIV/AIDS rehabilitation services.
