Being diagnosed with HIV/AIDS may set off drug use, or dangerous sexual behavior due to drug abuse could have caused the individual 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 use problem, often require rehab services tailored to satisfy their specific needs and problems. Many of these problems are physical in nature, because of the fact that drug users with HIV/AIDS almost never look after themselves and take the proper medications they need to preserve their health. As a result, these individuals arrive to rehab in very poor physical shape and this will have to be addressed as a priority while dealing with other important concerns. Besides the obvious necessity to provide medical solutions while in rehab, people who have HIV/AIDS should also address deeper issues which brought about their drug or alcohol use. Often, people have situations within their lives which are purely environmental which may have caused them to turn to alcohol or drugs, such as oppressive situations within their lives or detrimental relationships. These are the concerns which rehabilitation professionals will give attention to in HIV/AIDS treatment services.
