Being diagnosed with HIV/AIDS may trigger substance abuse, or risky sexual behavior due to abusing drugs may have caused the person to contract the disease. Individuals who have HIV/AIDS, either due to their drug abuse or as a pre-existing problem before their substance abuse issue, frequently require rehabilitation services tailor-made to satisfy their particular needs and problems. A few of these challenges are physical in nature, because of the fact that drug users with HIV/AIDS rarely care for themselves and take the proper medications they need to preserve their health. Therefore, these individuals arrive to rehab in very poor physical shape and this will have to be addressed as a priority whilst dealing with other crucial issues. Besides the obvious necessity to deliver medical services while in rehabilitation, those that have HIV/AIDS will also need to address deeper problems which brought about their alcohol or drug use. Frequently, people have conditions within their lives which are strictly environmental which may have triggered them to use alcohol or drugs, such as oppressive circumstances in their lives or negative relationships. These are the concerns which rehab professionals will give attention to as part of HIV/AIDS rehab services.
