Being diagnosed with HIV/AIDS may trigger substance abuse, or dangerous sexual behavior due to drug use could have caused the person to contract the sickness. People who have HIV/AIDS, either due to their drug abuse or as a pre-existing problem before their substance abuse problem, often require treatment services tailored in order to meet their specific needs and problems. Many of these problems are physical in nature, because of the fact that substance abusers with HIV/AIDS hardly ever look after themselves and take the appropriate medications they need to preserve their own health. As a result, they arrive to rehab in very poor physical shape and this will have to be addressed as a priority while dealing with other critical issues. Besides the obvious requirement to supply medical services whilst in rehab, people with HIV/AIDS also have to deal with more deeply rooted issues which prompted their drug or alcohol use. Frequently, people have conditions within their lives which are purely environmental which may have caused them to use alcohol or drugs, like oppressive situations within their lives or negative relationships. These are the concerns which treatment professionals will give attention to in HIV/AIDS rehabilitation services.
