Being diagnosed with HIV/AIDS may trigger substance abuse, or risky sexual conduct because of drug use might have caused to contract the illness. People who have HIV/AIDS, either because of their drug use or as a pre-existing condition prior to their drug abuse problem, frequently require rehabilitation services tailor-made to fulfill their particular demands and challenges. Some of these challenges are physical in nature, because of the fact that drug users with HIV/AIDS rarely take care of themselves and take the appropriate medicines they need to preserve their health. Therefore, they arrive to treatment in very poor physical shape and this will have to be addressed as a priority while dealing with other critical concerns. Besides the obvious necessity to deliver medical services during treatment, those that have HIV/AIDS also have to tackle deeper problems which brought about their drug or alcohol use. Frequently, individuals have situations within their lives which are strictly environmental which may have triggered them to use alcohol or drugs, including oppressive situations in their lives or negative relationships. These are the concerns which rehabilitation professionals will concentrate on in HIV/AIDS rehab services.
