Being diagnosed with HIV/AIDS may set off drug or alcohol use, or dangerous sexual behavior because of drug use might have caused the person to contract the illness. Individuals who have HIV/AIDS, either because of their substance abuse or as a pre-existing condition prior to their drug abuse issue, typically require rehab services tailored to meet their particular demands and problems. Many of these problems are physical in nature, due to the fact that substance abusers with HIV/AIDS very rarely look after themselves and take the proper medicines they need to preserve their health. As a result, these individuals arrive to treatment in very poor physical shape and this will have to be handled as a priority whilst dealing with other critical issues. Besides the obvious requirement to supply medical services during rehabilitation, individuals with HIV/AIDS should also address deeper problems which brought about their alcohol or drug use. Very often, individuals have situations in their lives which are purely environmental which may have caused them to turn to drugs or alcohol, like oppressive circumstances in their lives or detrimental relationships. These are the issues which rehabilitation professionals will give attention to as part of HIV/AIDS rehabilitation services.
