Being diagnosed with HIV/AIDS may trigger substance abuse, or dangerous sexual conduct due to abusing drugs may have caused the person to contract the illness. People who have HIV/AIDS, either because of their drug use or as a pre-existing problem prior to their substance abuse problem, often require rehabilitation services tailor-made to satisfy their particular needs and challenges. Many of these challenges are physical in nature, because of the fact that drug users with HIV/AIDS hardly ever care for themselves and take the appropriate medicines they need to maintain their health. As a result, they arrive to treatment in very poor physical shape and this will have to be addressed as a priority while also addressing other important concerns. Apart from the obvious requirement to provide medical solutions during rehab, people who have HIV/AIDS will also need to address deeper problems which brought about their drug or alcohol use. Often, individuals have conditions in their lives that are purely environmental which may have triggered them to use drugs or alcohol, like oppressive circumstances in their lives or damaging relationships. These are the concerns which rehab professionals will target as part of HIV/AIDS rehab services.
