Being diagnosed with HIV/AIDS may trigger drug or alcohol use, or dangerous sexual behavior because of drug use may have caused the individual to contract the disease. People who have HIV/AIDS, either as a result of their drug abuse or as a pre-existing condition before their drug use problem, frequently require rehabilitation services tailor-made to fulfill their particular needs and challenges. Many of these challenges are physical in nature, because of the fact that substance abusers with HIV/AIDS almost never care for themselves and take the appropriate medicines they need to preserve their own health. As a result, they arrive to treatment in very poor health and this will have to be handled as a priority whilst addressing other crucial concerns. Apart from the obvious necessity to provide medical services while in rehabilitation, people who have HIV/AIDS must also deal with deeper issues which prompted their alcohol or drug use. Frequently, individuals have situations in their lives which are strictly environmental which may have triggered them to use alcohol or drugs, like oppressive circumstances in their lives or damaging relationships. These are the issues which rehab professionals will give attention to as part of HIV/AIDS treatment services.
