Being diagnosed with HIV/AIDS may trigger substance abuse, or risky sexual behavior as a result of drug abuse could have caused the person to contract the illness. People who have HIV/AIDS, either due to their drug abuse or as a pre-existing problem prior to their drug abuse problem, frequently require treatment services tailored to meet their specific demands and challenges. Some challenges are physical in nature, due to the fact that drug users with HIV/AIDS hardly ever care for themselves and take the appropriate medicines they need to preserve their own health. Therefore, these individuals arrive to rehabilitation in very poor health and this will have to be handled as a priority while addressing other important issues. Apart from the obvious necessity to supply medical solutions whilst in rehabilitation, those that have HIV/AIDS also have to address deeper issues which prompted their drug or alcohol use. Frequently, people have conditions in their lives which are purely environmental which may have caused them to turn to drugs or alcohol, including oppressive situations in their lives or detrimental relationships. These are the issues which treatment professionals will give attention to in HIV/AIDS rehabilitation services.
