Being diagnosed with HIV/AIDS may trigger drug abuse, or risky sexual behavior due to abusing drugs could have caused the person to contract the disease. People who have HIV/AIDS, either because of their substance abuse or as a pre-existing problem prior to their drug use problem, frequently require treatment services tailored to meet their specific demands and challenges. Many of these problems are physical in nature, because of the fact that drug users with HIV/AIDS almost never care for themselves and take the proper medications they need to maintain their own health. Consequently, they arrive to rehabilitation in very poor health and this will have to be handled as a priority while addressing other important issues. Besides the obvious necessity to provide medical solutions while in rehabilitation, those that have HIV/AIDS also have to tackle deeper problems which brought about their alcohol or drug use. Often, people have situations in their lives that 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 rehabilitation professionals will target as part of HIV/AIDS treatment services.
