Being diagnosed with HIV/AIDS may trigger substance abuse, or dangerous sexual behavior because of drug abuse may have caused the person to contract the sickness. Individuals who have HIV/AIDS, either on account of their drug abuse or as a pre-existing condition prior to their drug use problem, often require rehabilitation services tailor-made in order to meet their specific demands and challenges. Many of these problems are physical in nature, due to the fact that drug users with HIV/AIDS rarely take care of themselves and take the appropriate medications they need to maintain their health. Consequently, these individuals arrive to treatment in very poor health and this will have to be handled as a priority whilst addressing other crucial issues. Aside from the obvious necessity to offer medical services whilst in rehab, people who have HIV/AIDS also have to deal with deeper issues which brought about their alcohol or drug use. Very often, people have conditions within their lives which are strictly environmental which may have caused them to turn to alcohol or drugs, including oppressive conditions within their lives or detrimental relationships. These are the concerns which rehabilitation professionals will give attention to in HIV/AIDS rehab services.
