Being diagnosed with HIV/AIDS may set off drug abuse, or risky sexual conduct because of drug abuse could have caused the person to contract the illness. Folks who suffer from HIV/AIDS, either due to their drug use or as a pre-existing condition prior to their drug abuse problem, often require rehab services tailored in order to meet their specific demands and problems. A few of these challenges are physical in nature, because of the fact that drug users with HIV/AIDS very rarely look after themselves and take the proper medications they need to preserve their own health. Consequently, they arrive to rehabilitation in very poor health and this will have to be addressed as a priority while dealing with other critical concerns. Aside from the obvious necessity to deliver medical services while in rehab, people with HIV/AIDS must also deal with more deeply rooted issues which prompted their alcohol or drug use. Often, people have circumstances within their lives which are purely environmental which may have caused them to turn to alcohol or drugs, such as oppressive circumstances in their lives or detrimental relationships. These are the concerns which treatment professionals will target in HIV/AIDS rehabilitation services.
