Being diagnosed with HIV/AIDS may trigger drug or alcohol use, or dangerous sexual behavior as a result of drug use may have caused the individual to contract the illness. People who have HIV/AIDS, either due to their drug abuse or as a pre-existing condition before their drug use issue, typically require treatment services tailor-made to meet their particular demands and challenges. Many of these challenges are physical in nature, due to the fact that substance abusers with HIV/AIDS rarely care for themselves and take the proper medications they need to maintain their health. Therefore, these individuals arrive to rehabilitation in very poor health and this will have to be addressed as a priority while also addressing other crucial concerns. Besides the obvious necessity to provide medical services during rehab, people with HIV/AIDS should also deal with more deeply rooted issues which prompted their drug or alcohol use. Very often, individuals have situations within their lives that are strictly environmental which may have caused them to turn to alcohol or drugs, such as oppressive situations within their lives or detrimental relationships. These are the concerns which rehabilitation professionals will give attention to in HIV/AIDS rehabilitation services.
