Being diagnosed with HIV/AIDS may trigger drug abuse, or risky sexual behavior because of drug use may have caused the person to contract the sickness. People who have HIV/AIDS, either as a result of their drug abuse or as a pre-existing problem just before their substance abuse problem, frequently require rehab services tailor-made to meet their specific needs and challenges. Some problems 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 own health. Therefore, these individuals arrive to rehabilitation in very poor health and this will have to be addressed as a priority while also dealing with other critical concerns. Besides the obvious necessity to provide medical solutions while in rehab, those that have HIV/AIDS will also need to deal with more deeply rooted problems which brought about their alcohol or drug use. Frequently, people have situations within their lives which are purely environmental which may have caused them to use drugs or alcohol, like oppressive conditions in their lives or damaging relationships. These are the issues which rehabilitation professionals will target in HIV/AIDS rehab services.
