Being diagnosed with HIV/AIDS may trigger substance abuse, or dangerous sexual behavior as a result of drug use could have caused to contract the sickness. Individuals who have HIV/AIDS, either as a result of their substance abuse or as a pre-existing problem before their drug use problem, frequently require treatment services tailored to meet their particular needs and challenges. Some of these problems are physical in nature, due to the fact that substance abusers with HIV/AIDS hardly ever care for themselves and take the appropriate medicines they need to preserve their own health. As a result, they arrive to rehab in very poor health and this will have to be addressed as a priority while addressing other critical concerns. Aside from the obvious necessity to offer medical services while in rehabilitation, people who have HIV/AIDS also have to address deeper issues which brought about their alcohol or drug use. Often, individuals have situations in their lives which are strictly environmental which may have triggered them to use alcohol or drugs, such as oppressive conditions in their lives or detrimental relationships. These are the concerns which treatment professionals will focus on as part of HIV/AIDS rehab services.
