Being diagnosed with HIV/AIDS may set off drug use, or risky sexual conduct because of drug use could have caused the person to contract the sickness. People who have HIV/AIDS, either because of their drug abuse or as a pre-existing condition before their drug abuse problem, typically require rehab services tailor-made in order to meet their specific needs and challenges. Some of these challenges are physical in nature, due to the fact that drug users with HIV/AIDS rarely take care of 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 addressed as a priority whilst addressing other crucial concerns. Aside from the obvious necessity to deliver medical services while in rehabilitation, those that have HIV/AIDS must also tackle more deeply rooted problems which prompted their drug or alcohol use. Frequently, individuals have circumstances in their lives which are strictly environmental which may have caused them to use drugs or alcohol, such as oppressive circumstances within their lives or damaging relationships. These are the concerns which rehabilitation professionals will give attention to as part of HIV/AIDS rehab services.
