Being diagnosed with HIV/AIDS may set off substance abuse, or risky sexual conduct as a result of drug abuse may have caused the individual to contract the disease. Individuals who have HIV/AIDS, either because of their drug use or as a pre-existing condition before their drug use problem, often require rehab services tailored to fulfill their specific demands and problems. Some of these challenges are physical in nature, because of the fact that substance abusers with HIV/AIDS hardly ever take care of themselves and take the proper medications they need to maintain their own health. Because of this, these individuals arrive to treatment in very poor physical shape and this will have to be handled as a priority whilst addressing other critical issues. Apart from the obvious requirement to deliver medical solutions while in rehab, people with HIV/AIDS also have to tackle deeper issues which prompted their alcohol or drug use. Very often, people have conditions within their lives which are strictly environmental which may have caused them to turn to alcohol or drugs, including oppressive circumstances within their lives or negative relationships. These are the issues which rehabilitation professionals will concentrate on as part of HIV/AIDS rehab services.
