Being diagnosed with HIV/AIDS may set off drug or alcohol use, or dangerous sexual behavior because of abusing drugs could have caused the individual to contract the sickness. Folks who suffer from HIV/AIDS, either due to their drug abuse or as a pre-existing problem prior to their drug abuse issue, often require treatment services tailor-made to satisfy their specific needs and challenges. Some challenges are physical in nature, because of the fact that drug users with HIV/AIDS hardly ever care for themselves and take the proper medicines they need to preserve their own health. Therefore, these individuals arrive to rehabilitation in very poor health and this will have to be addressed as a priority while dealing with other critical issues. Besides the obvious necessity to offer medical services during rehabilitation, those that have HIV/AIDS must also tackle deeper issues which prompted their drug or alcohol use. Frequently, people have situations in their lives that are strictly environmental which may have triggered them to use drugs or alcohol, including oppressive conditions in their lives or damaging relationships. These are the concerns which rehabilitation professionals will concentrate on as part of HIV/AIDS treatment services.
