Being diagnosed with HIV/AIDS may trigger drug abuse, or dangerous sexual conduct because of substance abuse could have caused to contract the disease. People who have HIV/AIDS, either because of their drug abuse or as a pre-existing problem prior to their drug abuse problem, frequently require rehabilitation services tailored to satisfy their specific needs and problems. Some challenges are physical in nature, because of the fact that substance abusers with HIV/AIDS hardly ever take care of themselves and take the proper medicines they need to preserve 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 dealing with other important issues. Besides the obvious necessity to provide medical solutions during treatment, people who have HIV/AIDS will also need to deal with more deeply rooted problems which prompted their alcohol or drug use. Usually, individuals have conditions within their lives that are purely environmental which may have caused them to turn to drugs or alcohol, including oppressive circumstances within their lives or damaging relationships. These are the issues which rehabilitation professionals will target in HIV/AIDS treatment services.
