Being diagnosed with HIV/AIDS may trigger drug or alcohol use, or risky sexual conduct because of substance abuse may have caused the individual to contract the disease. Individuals who have HIV/AIDS, either because of their substance abuse or as a pre-existing problem before their drug abuse problem, frequently require rehab services tailored to satisfy their particular needs and challenges. A few of these challenges are physical in nature, because of the fact that drug users with HIV/AIDS almost never take care of themselves and take the proper medicines they need to preserve their own health. Therefore, these individuals arrive to rehab in very poor physical shape and this will have to be addressed as a priority while also addressing other important concerns. In addition to the obvious requirement to deliver medical solutions while in rehabilitation, individuals with HIV/AIDS must also tackle deeper issues which brought about their alcohol or drug use. Frequently, people have situations within their lives that are strictly environmental which may have triggered them to use alcohol or drugs, such as oppressive situations within their lives or damaging relationships. These are the issues which treatment counselors will give attention to as part of HIV/AIDS rehabilitation services.
