Being diagnosed with HIV/AIDS may set off drug use, or risky sexual conduct because of drug use could have caused the individual to contract the illness. Individuals who have HIV/AIDS, either due to their substance abuse or as a pre-existing problem before their drug use issue, often require rehabilitation services tailor-made in order to meet their particular needs and problems. Some of these problems are physical in nature, because of the fact that substance abusers with HIV/AIDS rarely look after themselves and take the appropriate medications they need to maintain their own health. As a result, they arrive to rehab in very poor health and this will have to be addressed as a priority while dealing with other critical concerns. Apart from the obvious requirement to deliver medical solutions whilst in treatment, people who have HIV/AIDS also have to deal with deeper issues which brought about their drug or alcohol use. Usually, people have situations in their lives that are purely environmental which may have caused them to use alcohol or drugs, such as oppressive conditions within their lives or detrimental relationships. These are the concerns which rehab professionals will target as part of HIV/AIDS treatment services.
