Being diagnosed with HIV/AIDS may set off drug abuse, or dangerous sexual behavior due to drug abuse could have caused to contract the illness. Individuals who have HIV/AIDS, either as a result of their substance abuse or as a pre-existing condition prior to their drug use problem, often require rehab services tailor-made in order to meet their particular demands and challenges. Many of these problems are physical in nature, because of the fact that substance abusers with HIV/AIDS very rarely care for themselves and take the proper medicines they need to preserve their health. Therefore, they arrive to rehab in very poor physical shape and this will have to be addressed as a priority whilst dealing with other critical concerns. Aside from the obvious necessity to deliver medical solutions during rehab, people with HIV/AIDS will also need to address more deeply rooted problems which brought about their alcohol or drug use. Very often, people have conditions in their lives that are purely environmental which may have triggered them to use alcohol or drugs, including oppressive situations in their lives or damaging relationships. These are the issues which rehab professionals will target as part of HIV/AIDS rehab services.
