Being diagnosed with HIV/AIDS may set off substance abuse, or dangerous sexual behavior because of drug use might have caused to contract the illness. Individuals who have HIV/AIDS, either because of their drug abuse or as a pre-existing problem before their drug use problem, frequently require rehabilitation services tailor-made in order to meet their specific needs and problems. Some challenges are physical in nature, because of the fact that drug users with HIV/AIDS almost never take care of themselves and take the appropriate medications they need to preserve their health. Therefore, these individuals arrive to rehabilitation in very poor physical shape and this will have to be addressed as a priority while dealing with other critical issues. In addition to the obvious requirement to provide medical solutions whilst in rehabilitation, individuals with HIV/AIDS must also address deeper problems which brought about their drug or alcohol use. Often, individuals have conditions within their lives that are purely environmental which may have triggered them to use drugs or alcohol, including oppressive conditions within their lives or detrimental relationships. These are the issues which rehab professionals will concentrate on as part of HIV/AIDS treatment services.
