Being diagnosed with HIV/AIDS may trigger drug use, or risky sexual conduct due to drug use may have caused the person to contract the sickness. Individuals who have HIV/AIDS, either as a result of their drug abuse or as a pre-existing condition prior to their substance abuse issue, typically require rehabilitation services tailor-made to meet their specific demands and challenges. Some challenges are physical in nature, due to the fact that drug users with HIV/AIDS rarely care for themselves and take the proper medications they need to maintain their own health. Therefore, they arrive to treatment in very poor physical shape and this will have to be addressed as a priority while addressing other crucial concerns. In addition to the obvious necessity to offer medical solutions whilst in rehabilitation, those that have HIV/AIDS should also deal with deeper problems which prompted their alcohol or drug use. Usually, individuals have circumstances in their lives which are strictly environmental which may have triggered them to turn to alcohol or drugs, like oppressive circumstances within their lives or damaging relationships. These are the concerns which treatment professionals will target as part of HIV/AIDS rehab services.
