Being diagnosed with HIV/AIDS may trigger drug abuse, or dangerous sexual behavior due to drug abuse could have caused the person to contract the disease. People who have HIV/AIDS, either because of their drug use or as a pre-existing condition before their substance abuse problem, often require treatment services tailor-made to satisfy their particular needs and problems. Many of these challenges are physical in nature, due to the fact that substance abusers with HIV/AIDS very rarely take care of themselves and take the proper medications they need to preserve their own health. Because of this, they arrive to treatment in very poor physical shape and this will have to be addressed as a priority while also addressing other critical issues. Apart from the obvious requirement to provide medical solutions during rehabilitation, people with HIV/AIDS also have to deal with more deeply rooted issues which prompted their drug or alcohol use. Usually, individuals have situations in their lives that are strictly environmental which may have triggered them to turn to drugs or alcohol, such as oppressive conditions within their lives or detrimental relationships. These are the concerns which rehab professionals will give attention to in HIV/AIDS rehab services.
