Being diagnosed with HIV/AIDS may trigger drug or alcohol use, or dangerous sexual conduct due to substance abuse could have caused the person to contract the disease. Individuals who have HIV/AIDS, either due to their drug abuse or as a pre-existing condition before their drug abuse problem, typically require treatment services tailored in order to meet their particular demands and challenges. Some of these problems are physical in nature, due to the fact that drug users with HIV/AIDS very rarely take care of themselves and take the proper medications they need to maintain their own health. Because of this, these individuals arrive to treatment in very poor physical shape and this will have to be addressed as a priority while also addressing other crucial concerns. In addition to the obvious necessity to provide medical solutions while in rehabilitation, those that have HIV/AIDS must also tackle more deeply rooted problems which brought about their alcohol or drug use. Often, people have conditions in their lives which are strictly environmental which may have caused them to use alcohol or drugs, including oppressive conditions within their lives or damaging relationships. These are the issues which rehabilitation professionals will focus on in HIV/AIDS rehabilitation services.
