Being diagnosed with HIV/AIDS may set off substance abuse, or risky sexual behavior because of drug use may have caused to contract the disease. People who have HIV/AIDS, either because of their drug abuse or as a pre-existing problem prior to their drug use issue, typically require treatment services tailored to fulfill their particular needs and problems. A few of these problems are physical in nature, due to the fact that drug users with HIV/AIDS hardly ever 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 health and this will have to be addressed as a priority while also dealing with other important issues. Apart from the obvious necessity to offer medical solutions during rehabilitation, those that have HIV/AIDS must also tackle deeper issues which brought about their drug or alcohol use. Very often, individuals have conditions within their lives which are strictly environmental which may have caused them to turn to alcohol or drugs, including oppressive circumstances within their lives or damaging relationships. These are the issues which rehab professionals will target in HIV/AIDS rehab services.
