Being diagnosed with HIV/AIDS may trigger drug use, or risky sexual behavior because of drug use might have caused the person to contract the sickness. People who have HIV/AIDS, either on account of their drug use or as a pre-existing condition prior to their substance abuse problem, often require rehabilitation services tailor-made to satisfy their specific demands and problems. Some of these challenges are physical in nature, due to the fact that drug users with HIV/AIDS almost never take care of themselves and take the proper medications they need to preserve their health. Therefore, these individuals arrive to rehabilitation in very poor health and this will have to be addressed as a priority while dealing with other crucial concerns. Aside from the obvious necessity to provide medical solutions while in rehabilitation, people with HIV/AIDS will also need to deal with more deeply rooted problems which brought about their alcohol or drug use. Frequently, individuals have situations within their lives which are strictly environmental which may have triggered them to turn to alcohol or drugs, like oppressive circumstances in their lives or damaging relationships. These are the issues which rehabilitation professionals will give attention to as part of HIV/AIDS treatment services.
