Being diagnosed with HIV/AIDS may trigger drug use, or risky sexual behavior due to abusing drugs might have caused the individual to contract the disease. Individuals who have HIV/AIDS, either due to their drug use or as a pre-existing problem prior to their drug use issue, typically require rehabilitation services tailor-made to satisfy their particular needs and challenges. Some of these problems are physical in nature, due to the fact that substance abusers with HIV/AIDS rarely look after themselves and take the proper medicines they need to preserve their health. Therefore, these individuals arrive to rehabilitation in very poor health and this will have to be addressed as a priority while also addressing other critical concerns. Apart from the obvious requirement to supply medical services whilst in rehabilitation, those that have HIV/AIDS will also need to deal with more deeply rooted issues which prompted their alcohol or drug use. Often, people have conditions within their lives which are strictly environmental which may have caused them to use drugs or alcohol, including oppressive conditions within their lives or damaging relationships. These are the issues which rehabilitation professionals will focus on as part of HIV/AIDS rehab services.
