Being diagnosed with HIV/AIDS may trigger substance abuse, or dangerous sexual conduct as a result of drug abuse could have caused the individual to contract the disease. People who have HIV/AIDS, either due to their drug use or as a pre-existing problem before their substance abuse problem, often require rehab services tailor-made to meet their specific needs and challenges. Many of these challenges are physical in nature, because of the fact that drug users with HIV/AIDS very rarely take care of themselves and take the proper medications they need to preserve their own health. Consequently, they arrive to rehabilitation in very poor health and this will have to be addressed as a priority while addressing other critical issues. In addition to the obvious necessity to supply medical solutions whilst in rehab, people who have HIV/AIDS will also need to address more deeply rooted problems which brought about their drug or alcohol use. Often, people have conditions in their lives which are strictly environmental which may have triggered them to turn to drugs or alcohol, like oppressive situations within their lives or negative relationships. These are the issues which rehab professionals will give attention to as part of HIV/AIDS rehab services.
