Being diagnosed with HIV/AIDS may set off drug use, or risky sexual conduct as a result of substance abuse could possibly have caused the individual to contract the illness. People who have HIV/AIDS, either as a result of their drug use or as a pre-existing condition before their drug use issue, frequently require treatment services tailor-made to satisfy their particular needs and problems. Many of these problems are physical in nature, because of the fact that substance abusers with HIV/AIDS very rarely take care of themselves and take the appropriate medicines they need to maintain their health. Therefore, these individuals arrive to rehab in very poor health and this will have to be addressed as a priority while dealing with other important concerns. In addition to the obvious requirement to supply medical solutions while in rehabilitation, those that have HIV/AIDS also have to deal with deeper problems which prompted their alcohol or drug use. Usually, people have conditions in their lives which are strictly environmental which may have triggered them to turn to drugs or alcohol, including oppressive circumstances in their lives or negative relationships. These are the concerns which rehabilitation professionals will focus on as part of HIV/AIDS treatment services.
