Being diagnosed with HIV/AIDS may trigger drug or alcohol use, or dangerous sexual conduct as a result of drug use could have caused to contract the illness. People who have HIV/AIDS, either due to their drug use or as a pre-existing condition before their substance abuse problem, frequently require rehabilitation services tailor-made in order to meet their particular demands and problems. Many of these problems are physical in nature, because of the fact that substance abusers with HIV/AIDS rarely care for themselves and take the appropriate medications they need to preserve their own health. Consequently, these individuals arrive to treatment in very poor health and this will have to be handled as a priority whilst addressing other critical issues. Apart from the obvious requirement to deliver medical solutions whilst in rehabilitation, people with HIV/AIDS must also address more deeply rooted problems which prompted their drug or alcohol use. Often, people have situations within their lives that are purely environmental which may have triggered them to use drugs or alcohol, including oppressive circumstances in their lives or damaging relationships. These are the concerns which rehab professionals will focus on as part of HIV/AIDS rehab services.
