Being diagnosed with HIV/AIDS may trigger substance abuse, or risky sexual behavior because of drug abuse could have caused the individual to contract the sickness. Individuals who have HIV/AIDS, either due to their drug use or as a pre-existing problem prior to their drug abuse issue, typically require rehab services tailor-made in order to meet their specific demands and problems. Some problems are physical in nature, because of the fact that drug users with HIV/AIDS rarely care for themselves and take the appropriate medications they need to preserve their own health. As a result, these individuals arrive to rehabilitation in very poor physical shape and this will have to be handled as a priority whilst addressing other important concerns. Apart from the obvious requirement to supply medical services whilst in rehabilitation, people with HIV/AIDS must also tackle deeper issues which prompted their alcohol or drug use. Often, individuals have circumstances in their lives which are purely environmental which may have caused them to turn to drugs or alcohol, including oppressive situations within their lives or detrimental relationships. These are the concerns which rehab professionals will target in HIV/AIDS treatment services.
