Being diagnosed with HIV/AIDS may trigger drug use, or dangerous sexual behavior as a result of substance abuse could have caused to contract the disease. Individuals who have HIV/AIDS, either because of their drug use or as a pre-existing problem prior to their drug use issue, typically require rehabilitation services tailored in order to meet their particular needs and problems. Many of these challenges are physical in nature, because of the fact that drug users with HIV/AIDS very rarely look after themselves and take the proper medicines they need to preserve their health. As a result, these individuals arrive to treatment in very poor physical shape and this will have to be handled as a priority while addressing other critical concerns. Aside from the obvious requirement to supply medical services during treatment, people who have HIV/AIDS will also need to tackle deeper problems which prompted their alcohol or drug use. Frequently, individuals have conditions in their lives which are strictly environmental which may have caused them to turn to alcohol or drugs, such as oppressive situations in their lives or detrimental relationships. These are the issues which treatment professionals will focus on as part of HIV/AIDS rehab services.
