Being diagnosed with HIV/AIDS may trigger drug or alcohol use, or risky sexual behavior as a result of substance abuse could have caused the person to contract the disease. Folks who suffer from HIV/AIDS, either as a result of their drug use or as a pre-existing problem just before their substance abuse issue, frequently require treatment services tailored to meet their particular needs and problems. Some challenges are physical in nature, due to the fact that substance abusers with HIV/AIDS rarely care for themselves and take the appropriate medicines they need to preserve their health. Consequently, they arrive to rehabilitation in very poor health and this will have to be addressed as a priority while also dealing with other critical issues. Aside from the obvious requirement to supply medical services during rehab, those that have HIV/AIDS will also need to address more deeply rooted issues which brought about their alcohol or drug use. Often, people have conditions in their lives which are purely environmental which may have triggered them to use alcohol or drugs, such as oppressive conditions in their lives or negative relationships. These are the concerns which rehab professionals will target as part of HIV/AIDS rehab services.
