Being diagnosed with HIV/AIDS may trigger drug or alcohol use, or risky sexual conduct as a result of drug abuse could possibly have caused the person to contract the disease. Individuals who have HIV/AIDS, either as a result of their drug abuse or as a pre-existing problem before their substance abuse issue, frequently require treatment services tailored in order to meet their specific needs and problems. Many of these problems are physical in nature, because of the fact that drug users with HIV/AIDS almost never look after themselves and take the proper medications they need to maintain their own health. As a result, these individuals arrive to treatment in very poor health and this will have to be addressed as a priority while also addressing other important issues. Besides the obvious requirement to provide medical services while in rehab, those that have HIV/AIDS should also address more deeply rooted issues which prompted their alcohol or drug use. Usually, people have conditions in their lives that are purely environmental which may have triggered them to use alcohol or drugs, such as oppressive conditions within their lives or detrimental relationships. These are the issues which rehab professionals will target in HIV/AIDS rehabilitation services.
