Being diagnosed with HIV/AIDS may trigger drug use, or risky sexual behavior due to substance abuse could have caused the individual to contract the illness. Individuals who have HIV/AIDS, either on account of their substance abuse or as a pre-existing condition before their drug abuse problem, typically require rehabilitation services tailored to satisfy their particular needs and challenges. Some problems are physical in nature, due to the fact that drug users with HIV/AIDS almost never look after themselves and take the proper medications they need to preserve their own health. Consequently, these individuals arrive to rehab in very poor physical shape and this will have to be handled as a priority whilst addressing other crucial concerns. In addition to the obvious necessity to deliver medical services whilst in rehab, people who have HIV/AIDS will also need to deal with deeper problems which prompted their alcohol or drug use. Very often, people have circumstances in their lives which are purely environmental which may have caused them to turn to drugs or alcohol, including oppressive circumstances within their lives or damaging relationships. These are the issues which rehabilitation professionals will give attention to in HIV/AIDS treatment services.
