Being diagnosed with HIV/AIDS may trigger drug use, or risky sexual conduct as a result of drug abuse could possibly have caused the person to contract the disease. Individuals who have HIV/AIDS, either due to their substance abuse or as a pre-existing condition prior to their substance abuse issue, typically require rehab services tailor-made to satisfy their particular needs and problems. Many of these challenges are physical in nature, due to the fact that drug users with HIV/AIDS hardly ever take care of themselves and take the proper medicines they need to maintain their health. As a result, they arrive to treatment in very poor physical shape and this will have to be handled as a priority while addressing other important issues. Besides the obvious requirement to deliver medical solutions during treatment, people with HIV/AIDS will also need to address more deeply rooted 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 use drugs or alcohol, like oppressive situations within their lives or damaging relationships. These are the issues which rehabilitation professionals will target in HIV/AIDS rehabilitation services.
