Being diagnosed with HIV/AIDS may trigger substance abuse, or risky sexual conduct because of drug use could have caused the individual to contract the disease. People who have HIV/AIDS, either as a result of their drug use or as a pre-existing problem just before their drug abuse problem, typically require rehab services tailor-made to satisfy their specific demands and problems. Many of these problems are physical in nature, because of the fact that substance abusers with HIV/AIDS almost never care for themselves and take the proper medications they need to maintain their own health. Consequently, they arrive to rehab in very poor physical shape and this will have to be addressed as a priority while dealing with other crucial concerns. Aside from the obvious requirement to deliver medical services whilst in rehabilitation, individuals with HIV/AIDS should also tackle deeper problems which prompted their alcohol or drug use. Often, individuals have circumstances in their lives which are strictly environmental which may have triggered them to turn to alcohol or drugs, such as oppressive circumstances in their lives or detrimental relationships. These are the issues which rehabilitation professionals will focus on as part of HIV/AIDS rehabilitation services.
