Being diagnosed with HIV/AIDS may trigger substance abuse, or risky sexual conduct as a result of drug use could possibly have caused to contract the disease. Individuals who have HIV/AIDS, either as a result of their drug use or as a pre-existing condition prior to their drug abuse issue, frequently require rehabilitation services tailored to fulfill their specific demands and challenges. Many of these problems are physical in nature, because of the fact that drug users with HIV/AIDS rarely look after themselves and take the proper medications they need to preserve their own health. Because of this, they arrive to rehab in very poor health and this will have to be addressed as a priority whilst addressing other important issues. Apart from the obvious necessity to provide medical services during rehab, those that have HIV/AIDS also have to address more deeply rooted problems which prompted their drug or alcohol use. Frequently, people have situations within their lives that are strictly environmental which may have caused them to turn to drugs or alcohol, such as oppressive situations in their lives or detrimental relationships. These are the concerns which rehabilitation professionals will target as part of HIV/AIDS rehabilitation services.
