Being diagnosed with HIV/AIDS may set off drug or alcohol use, or dangerous sexual conduct because of drug use may have caused the person to contract the illness. People who have HIV/AIDS, either because of their drug abuse or as a pre-existing condition just before their drug abuse problem, often require rehabilitation services tailored to satisfy their specific demands and problems. Some problems are physical in nature, due to the fact that drug users with HIV/AIDS rarely take care of themselves and take the appropriate medicines they need to preserve their own health. As a result, they arrive to rehabilitation in very poor health and this will have to be handled as a priority while also dealing with other important issues. In addition to the obvious requirement to offer medical solutions while in rehabilitation, people who have HIV/AIDS must also deal with more deeply rooted problems which brought about their alcohol or drug use. Very often, individuals have conditions in their lives which are purely environmental which may have caused them to use alcohol or drugs, such as oppressive conditions in their lives or negative relationships. These are the concerns which treatment professionals will give attention to in HIV/AIDS rehab services.
