Being diagnosed with HIV/AIDS may set off drug abuse, or risky sexual conduct as a result of drug use may have caused the person to contract the sickness. People who have HIV/AIDS, either due to their drug use or as a pre-existing problem prior to their drug abuse issue, often require treatment services tailor-made to fulfill their particular demands and challenges. Some of these challenges are physical in nature, because of the fact that drug users with HIV/AIDS very rarely care for themselves and take the proper medications they need to maintain their own health. Therefore, these individuals arrive to rehabilitation in very poor physical shape and this will have to be addressed as a priority whilst dealing with other important concerns. In addition to the obvious requirement to provide medical services while in treatment, people who have HIV/AIDS must also tackle deeper issues which brought about their alcohol or drug use. Very often, people have situations in their lives that happen to be strictly environmental which may have caused them to use drugs or alcohol, including oppressive circumstances in their lives or damaging relationships. These are the issues which rehabilitation professionals will target in HIV/AIDS treatment services.
