Being diagnosed with HIV/AIDS may trigger drug or alcohol use, or dangerous sexual conduct due to abusing drugs could have caused the person to contract the disease. Individuals who have HIV/AIDS, either due to their substance abuse or as a pre-existing problem before their substance abuse problem, frequently require rehabilitation services tailored to meet their particular demands and problems. Some challenges are physical in nature, due to the fact that substance abusers with HIV/AIDS rarely look after themselves and take the appropriate medicines they need to maintain 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 issues. Apart from the obvious necessity to deliver medical solutions while in rehab, individuals with HIV/AIDS should also tackle deeper issues which brought about their drug or alcohol use. Frequently, people have situations within their lives which are purely environmental which may have triggered them to use drugs or alcohol, like oppressive situations in their lives or detrimental relationships. These are the issues which rehab professionals will target as part of HIV/AIDS rehab services.
