Being diagnosed with HIV/AIDS may set off drug use, or risky sexual behavior as a result of drug use may 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 problem just before their drug use problem, typically require treatment services tailor-made in order to meet their specific needs and problems. Some challenges are physical in nature, because of the fact that drug users with HIV/AIDS very rarely take care of themselves and take the proper medicines they need to maintain their health. Therefore, they arrive to treatment in very poor physical shape and this will have to be handled as a priority whilst addressing other important issues. In addition to the obvious requirement to deliver medical services while in rehab, individuals with HIV/AIDS must also address more deeply rooted problems which brought about their alcohol or drug use. Usually, individuals have situations in their lives which are strictly environmental which may have triggered them to use alcohol or drugs, such as oppressive circumstances within their lives or detrimental relationships. These are the concerns which rehab professionals will concentrate on in HIV/AIDS rehabilitation services.
