Being diagnosed with HIV/AIDS may set off drug abuse, or dangerous sexual conduct because of drug use could have caused the person to contract the disease. Individuals who have HIV/AIDS, either because of their substance abuse or as a pre-existing problem before their drug use issue, typically require treatment services tailored in order to meet their particular needs and challenges. Many of these problems are physical in nature, due to the fact that drug users with HIV/AIDS almost never care for themselves and take the appropriate medications they need to preserve their own health. Therefore, they arrive to treatment in very poor health and this will have to be handled as a priority whilst dealing with other critical issues. Apart from the obvious requirement to supply medical services during rehab, those that have HIV/AIDS must also deal with more deeply rooted problems which brought about their alcohol or drug use. Very often, people have conditions within their lives which are strictly environmental which may have triggered them to turn to alcohol or drugs, including oppressive situations within their lives or negative relationships. These are the issues which treatment professionals will target in HIV/AIDS rehab services.
