Being diagnosed with HIV/AIDS may set off drug use, or risky sexual conduct because of abusing drugs could have caused the individual to contract the illness. Individuals who have HIV/AIDS, either due to their drug use or as a pre-existing condition before their drug abuse issue, typically require rehab services tailor-made to satisfy their particular needs and problems. Many of these problems are physical in nature, due to the fact that substance abusers with HIV/AIDS very rarely take care of themselves and take the appropriate medicines they need to maintain their own health. Therefore, these individuals arrive to rehabilitation in very poor physical shape and this will have to be addressed as a priority whilst addressing other critical issues. Aside from the obvious requirement to offer medical services while in treatment, people with HIV/AIDS also have to deal with deeper problems which brought about their alcohol or drug use. Often, individuals have conditions within their lives that are purely environmental which may have caused them to use alcohol or drugs, including oppressive situations in their lives or damaging relationships. These are the concerns which rehabilitation professionals will concentrate on as part of HIV/AIDS rehab services.
