Being diagnosed with HIV/AIDS may set off drug use, or risky sexual behavior because of abusing drugs may have caused the individual to contract the illness. Individuals who have HIV/AIDS, either on account of their substance abuse or as a pre-existing condition just before their substance abuse issue, frequently require rehabilitation services tailor-made to fulfill their specific needs and challenges. Many of these challenges are physical in nature, because of the fact that substance abusers with HIV/AIDS rarely look after themselves and take the appropriate medications they need to preserve their health. Because of this, they arrive to rehabilitation in very poor physical shape and this will have to be addressed as a priority while dealing with other critical concerns. Aside from the obvious necessity to supply medical services whilst in rehab, people who have HIV/AIDS should also tackle deeper issues which prompted their alcohol or drug use. Often, individuals have situations within their lives which are strictly environmental which may have triggered them to use drugs or alcohol, such as oppressive situations in their lives or negative relationships. These are the concerns which rehabilitation professionals will target in HIV/AIDS treatment services.
