Being diagnosed with HIV/AIDS may set off drug use, or dangerous sexual behavior as a result of drug abuse might have caused the person to contract the illness. Individuals who have HIV/AIDS, either because of their drug abuse or as a pre-existing condition just before their drug abuse problem, often require treatment services tailored to meet their specific needs and problems. Some problems are physical in nature, due to the fact that drug users with HIV/AIDS rarely look after themselves and take the appropriate medicines they need to maintain their health. Because of this, these individuals arrive to rehab in very poor physical shape and this will have to be addressed as a priority while addressing other critical concerns. In addition to the obvious necessity to deliver medical services whilst in treatment, people who have HIV/AIDS also have to address deeper issues which prompted their drug or alcohol use. Very often, people have circumstances within their lives which are strictly environmental which may have triggered them to use alcohol or drugs, including oppressive conditions in their lives or negative relationships. These are the issues which rehabilitation professionals will focus on in HIV/AIDS treatment services.
