Being diagnosed with HIV/AIDS may set off drug or alcohol use, or dangerous sexual behavior due to drug use may have caused the person to contract the disease. People who have HIV/AIDS, either because of their substance abuse or as a pre-existing problem just before their drug use problem, often require rehabilitation services tailor-made to satisfy their particular needs and challenges. Some problems are physical in nature, because of the fact that drug users with HIV/AIDS rarely look after themselves and take the proper medicines they need to maintain their health. Therefore, they arrive to rehab in very poor physical shape and this will have to be addressed as a priority whilst addressing other crucial issues. Aside from the obvious necessity to provide medical solutions while in rehabilitation, people who have HIV/AIDS must also address more deeply rooted problems which brought about their alcohol or drug use. Often, individuals have circumstances in their lives that are purely environmental which may have triggered them to use drugs or alcohol, including oppressive conditions within their lives or damaging relationships. These are the issues which rehabilitation professionals will concentrate on in HIV/AIDS rehabilitation services.
