Being diagnosed with HIV/AIDS may trigger drug use, or dangerous sexual behavior due to drug use could have caused the person to contract the illness. Individuals who have HIV/AIDS, either because of their substance abuse or as a pre-existing problem just before their drug abuse problem, frequently require rehabilitation services tailored to satisfy their specific needs and challenges. Some problems are physical in nature, because of the fact that drug users 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 rehab in very poor health and this will have to be addressed as a priority while addressing other critical issues. Besides the obvious necessity to supply medical services during rehab, individuals with HIV/AIDS also have to tackle more deeply rooted issues which brought about their drug or alcohol use. Frequently, people have situations in their lives which are purely environmental which may have triggered them to turn to drugs or alcohol, such as oppressive situations within their lives or detrimental relationships. These are the issues which rehab professionals will target as part of HIV/AIDS rehab services.
