Being diagnosed with HIV/AIDS may trigger drug use, or dangerous sexual behavior due to drug abuse might have caused the individual to contract the disease. Individuals who have HIV/AIDS, either because of their drug abuse or as a pre-existing problem just before their substance abuse problem, often require rehabilitation services tailored in order to meet their particular demands and challenges. Many of these problems are physical in nature, because of the fact that drug users with HIV/AIDS rarely take care of themselves and take the appropriate medicines they need to maintain their own health. As a result, these individuals arrive to rehab in very poor health and this will have to be handled as a priority whilst addressing other critical concerns. Besides the obvious necessity to deliver medical services while in rehabilitation, people who have HIV/AIDS will also need to deal with deeper issues which prompted their alcohol or drug use. Usually, people have situations in their lives that are strictly environmental which may have caused them to use alcohol or drugs, including oppressive situations within their lives or detrimental relationships. These are the issues which treatment professionals will target as part of HIV/AIDS treatment services.
