Being diagnosed with HIV/AIDS may trigger drug or alcohol use, or dangerous sexual conduct due to drug abuse could have caused the individual to contract the disease. Folks who suffer from HIV/AIDS, either on account of their drug use or as a pre-existing problem prior to their drug abuse problem, typically require rehab services tailor-made to meet their specific demands and problems. Some problems are physical in nature, due to the fact that substance abusers with HIV/AIDS rarely care for themselves and take the proper medicines they need to maintain their own health. As a result, these individuals arrive to treatment in very poor health and this will have to be addressed as a priority while dealing with other crucial issues. In addition to the obvious requirement to supply medical services while in rehab, individuals with HIV/AIDS also have to tackle deeper problems which brought about their alcohol or drug use. Often, individuals have situations within their lives which are purely environmental which may have caused them to turn to alcohol or drugs, including oppressive circumstances within their lives or damaging relationships. These are the concerns which rehabilitation professionals will concentrate on in HIV/AIDS rehabilitation services.
