Being diagnosed with HIV/AIDS may set off drug use, or dangerous sexual behavior because of drug use could have caused the individual to contract the illness. Individuals who have HIV/AIDS, either because of their drug use or as a pre-existing problem prior to their drug use problem, typically require rehab services tailor-made to satisfy their specific demands and problems. Some of these problems are physical in nature, due to the fact that substance abusers with HIV/AIDS rarely look after themselves and take the appropriate medications they need to preserve their own health. Consequently, they arrive to rehabilitation in very poor health and this will have to be handled as a priority while dealing with other crucial concerns. Apart from the obvious necessity to offer medical services during rehab, people with HIV/AIDS will also need to address deeper problems which prompted their alcohol or drug use. Often, people have conditions in their lives that are strictly environmental which may have triggered them to turn to alcohol or drugs, including oppressive circumstances in their lives or damaging relationships. These are the issues which rehab professionals will concentrate on as part of HIV/AIDS rehab services.
