Being diagnosed with HIV/AIDS may trigger drug use, or dangerous sexual conduct as a result of drug use could have caused the person to contract the illness. Individuals who have HIV/AIDS, either on account of their substance abuse or as a pre-existing problem prior to their drug abuse issue, often require rehab services tailor-made to satisfy their particular needs and problems. A few of these challenges are physical in nature, because of the fact that drug users with HIV/AIDS almost never look after themselves and take the proper medicines they need to maintain their own health. Therefore, they arrive to treatment in very poor physical shape and this will have to be handled as a priority while also addressing other important issues. Aside from the obvious necessity to deliver medical services whilst in treatment, individuals with HIV/AIDS must also address more deeply rooted issues which brought about their drug or alcohol use. Frequently, people have situations in their lives that are strictly environmental which may have triggered them to use drugs or alcohol, such as oppressive situations within their lives or negative relationships. These are the issues which rehabilitation counselors will concentrate on in HIV/AIDS rehabilitation services.
