Being diagnosed with HIV/AIDS may set off substance abuse, or dangerous sexual conduct due to abusing drugs could have caused the person to contract the disease. People who have HIV/AIDS, either due to their drug abuse or as a pre-existing condition prior to their drug use problem, typically require treatment services tailored to fulfill their particular demands and problems. Many of these problems are physical in nature, because of the fact that drug users with HIV/AIDS almost never care for themselves and take the proper medicines they need to maintain their health. Consequently, these individuals arrive to rehab in very poor physical shape and this will have to be addressed as a priority while dealing with other important concerns. Apart from the obvious requirement to supply medical solutions while in rehab, those that have HIV/AIDS must also address more deeply rooted problems which prompted their alcohol or drug use. Usually, people have circumstances in their lives that are purely environmental which may have triggered them to turn to alcohol or drugs, such as oppressive circumstances within their lives or damaging relationships. These are the issues which rehab counselors will target in HIV/AIDS rehabilitation services.
