Being diagnosed with HIV/AIDS may set off drug or alcohol use, or dangerous sexual conduct due to substance abuse could have caused to contract the sickness. Individuals who have HIV/AIDS, either as a result of their drug use or as a pre-existing problem before their substance abuse problem, typically require treatment services tailor-made to fulfill their particular needs and challenges. Some of these problems are physical in nature, because of the fact that substance abusers with HIV/AIDS almost never care for themselves and take the appropriate medications they need to maintain their own health. Therefore, these individuals arrive to treatment in very poor physical shape and this will have to be addressed as a priority whilst dealing with other important issues. In addition to the obvious requirement to deliver medical solutions whilst in treatment, people with HIV/AIDS must also deal with deeper issues which brought about their alcohol or drug use. Very often, people have circumstances in their lives that are strictly environmental which may have triggered them to turn to alcohol or drugs, such as oppressive conditions within their lives or detrimental relationships. These are the issues which rehabilitation professionals will concentrate on as part of HIV/AIDS rehabilitation services.
