Being diagnosed with HIV/AIDS may trigger substance abuse, or risky sexual behavior as a result of substance abuse could have caused the individual to contract the disease. Individuals who have HIV/AIDS, either because of their drug use or as a pre-existing condition prior to their drug use problem, typically require rehab services tailor-made to meet their specific demands and problems. Some problems are physical in nature, due to the fact that substance abusers with HIV/AIDS rarely care for themselves and take the appropriate medicines they need to maintain their own health. Consequently, they arrive to rehab in very poor physical shape and this will have to be handled as a priority while also addressing other critical concerns. In addition to the obvious necessity to deliver medical services during rehab, people with HIV/AIDS should also address deeper problems which prompted their drug or alcohol use. Often, individuals have conditions in their lives which are purely environmental which may have triggered them to turn to drugs or alcohol, like oppressive situations in their lives or damaging relationships. These are the concerns which rehab professionals will concentrate on as part of HIV/AIDS treatment services.
