Being diagnosed with HIV/AIDS may trigger drug or alcohol use, or dangerous sexual behavior due to drug use may have caused the individual to contract the illness. Folks who suffer from HIV/AIDS, either because of their drug abuse or as a pre-existing problem prior to their drug abuse issue, typically require rehab services tailored to satisfy their particular needs and challenges. Many of these problems are physical in nature, because of the fact that substance abusers with HIV/AIDS very rarely take care of themselves and take the appropriate medications they need to maintain their health. Therefore, they arrive to rehab in very poor physical shape and this will have to be handled as a priority whilst addressing other crucial issues. Besides the obvious necessity to supply medical solutions whilst in rehab, people with HIV/AIDS should also address deeper problems which prompted their alcohol or drug use. Usually, people have circumstances within their lives that are strictly environmental which may have triggered them to use drugs or alcohol, including oppressive situations in their lives or negative relationships. These are the issues which rehab professionals will focus on as part of HIV/AIDS rehabilitation services.
