Being diagnosed with HIV/AIDS may trigger substance abuse, or risky sexual conduct because of drug use could have caused the person to contract the disease. Individuals who have HIV/AIDS, either as a result of their drug use or as a pre-existing condition prior to their substance abuse issue, frequently require rehab services tailored in order to meet their specific needs and challenges. A few of these problems are physical in nature, because of the fact that drug users with HIV/AIDS almost never look after themselves and take the proper medications they need to maintain their health. Therefore, they arrive to rehabilitation in very poor health and this will have to be addressed as a priority while also addressing other important issues. Apart from the obvious requirement to provide medical services whilst in treatment, people with HIV/AIDS will also need to deal with more deeply rooted problems which brought about their drug or alcohol use. Frequently, individuals have situations in their lives that are purely environmental which may have caused them to turn to alcohol or drugs, including oppressive situations in their lives or detrimental relationships. These are the concerns which rehabilitation professionals will focus on in HIV/AIDS treatment services.
