Being diagnosed with HIV/AIDS may trigger drug or alcohol use, or risky sexual conduct as a result of abusing drugs could possibly have caused to contract the disease. Individuals who have HIV/AIDS, either due to their drug use or as a pre-existing condition before their substance abuse issue, frequently require rehab services tailored in order to meet their specific demands and problems. Some of these problems are physical in nature, because of the fact that drug users with HIV/AIDS very rarely take care of themselves and take the proper medications they need to maintain their own health. Because of this, these individuals arrive to rehabilitation in very poor physical shape and this will have to be addressed as a priority whilst dealing with other important issues. Besides the obvious requirement to deliver medical services whilst in rehabilitation, people with HIV/AIDS should also address deeper problems which brought about their alcohol or drug use. Often, people have conditions within their lives that are purely environmental which may have caused them to use alcohol or drugs, such as oppressive situations within their lives or damaging relationships. These are the concerns which treatment professionals will focus on as part of HIV/AIDS rehabilitation services.
