Being diagnosed with HIV/AIDS may trigger drug abuse, or risky sexual behavior as a result of substance abuse might have caused the individual to contract the disease. Individuals who have HIV/AIDS, either on account of their substance abuse or as a pre-existing condition before their drug use issue, typically require rehabilitation services tailor-made to fulfill their particular demands and problems. Many of these problems are physical in nature, because of the fact that substance abusers with HIV/AIDS hardly ever look after themselves and take the proper medicines they need to preserve their health. Consequently, these individuals arrive to rehabilitation in very poor health and this will have to be handled as a priority whilst dealing with other critical concerns. Besides the obvious requirement to provide medical services during rehabilitation, people with HIV/AIDS must also tackle deeper problems which brought about their drug or alcohol use. Often, individuals have circumstances within their lives that are strictly 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 rehab professionals will target as part of HIV/AIDS rehab services.
