Being diagnosed with HIV/AIDS may set off drug or alcohol use, or risky sexual behavior due to abusing drugs could have caused to contract the disease. People who have HIV/AIDS, either because of their drug abuse or as a pre-existing problem before their drug abuse issue, often require rehabilitation services tailored in order to meet their particular demands and problems. A few of these challenges are physical in nature, because of the fact that substance abusers with HIV/AIDS hardly ever look after themselves and take the appropriate medicines they need to preserve their own health. Because of this, these individuals arrive to treatment in very poor health and this will have to be addressed as a priority whilst addressing other important issues. Besides the obvious necessity to provide medical services during rehab, those that have HIV/AIDS will also need to address deeper issues which prompted their drug or alcohol use. Often, people have conditions within their lives that are purely environmental which may have triggered them to use drugs or alcohol, such as oppressive conditions in their lives or detrimental relationships. These are the issues which rehabilitation professionals will concentrate on as part of HIV/AIDS rehab services.
