Being diagnosed with HIV/AIDS may trigger drug use, or risky sexual conduct due to drug use may have caused the individual to contract the disease. Individuals who have HIV/AIDS, either on account of their drug use or as a pre-existing condition just before their substance abuse problem, frequently require rehab services tailor-made to fulfill their particular needs and challenges. A few of these challenges are physical in nature, because of the fact that substance abusers with HIV/AIDS hardly ever look after themselves and take the appropriate medicines they need to maintain their health. Consequently, they arrive to treatment in very poor physical shape and this will have to be handled as a priority while addressing other critical issues. Aside from the obvious necessity to supply medical services while in treatment, individuals with HIV/AIDS should also address deeper issues which prompted their alcohol or drug use. Often, people have circumstances in their lives which are strictly environmental which may have triggered them to use alcohol or drugs, including oppressive circumstances in their lives or detrimental relationships. These are the concerns which rehab professionals will focus on as part of HIV/AIDS rehabilitation services.
