Being diagnosed with HIV/AIDS may trigger drug or alcohol use, or risky sexual conduct due to abusing drugs might have caused the person to contract the sickness. People who have HIV/AIDS, either on account of their drug abuse or as a pre-existing problem before their substance abuse issue, typically require rehabilitation services tailor-made in order to meet their specific demands and problems. Many of these problems are physical in nature, because of the fact that drug users with HIV/AIDS rarely care for themselves and take the proper medications they need to preserve their health. Because of this, these individuals arrive to rehabilitation in very poor health and this will have to be addressed as a priority whilst addressing other important concerns. Aside from the obvious necessity to offer medical solutions whilst in rehab, individuals with HIV/AIDS also have to tackle deeper problems which prompted their alcohol or drug use. Usually, individuals have circumstances in their lives which are strictly environmental which may have caused them to use alcohol or drugs, including oppressive circumstances in their lives or damaging relationships. These are the issues which rehab professionals will target in HIV/AIDS rehab services.
