Being diagnosed with HIV/AIDS may set off drug abuse, or dangerous sexual behavior because of drug abuse could have caused the person to contract the disease. People who have HIV/AIDS, either because of their drug use or as a pre-existing condition prior to their drug use problem, often require rehabilitation services tailored in order to meet their specific needs and challenges. Some of these problems are physical in nature, due to the fact that substance abusers with HIV/AIDS very rarely care for themselves and take the appropriate medicines they need to preserve their own health. Therefore, they arrive to rehabilitation in very poor health and this will have to be addressed as a priority while also addressing other crucial concerns. Apart from the obvious necessity to offer medical solutions while in rehab, people with HIV/AIDS will also need to address deeper issues which prompted their alcohol or drug use. Very often, people have situations in their lives which are strictly environmental which may have caused them to use drugs or alcohol, including oppressive circumstances within their lives or damaging relationships. These are the concerns which rehabilitation professionals will give attention to in HIV/AIDS rehab services.
