Being diagnosed with HIV/AIDS may trigger drug use, or risky sexual behavior due to abusing drugs might have caused the individual to contract the disease. People who have HIV/AIDS, either due to their substance abuse or as a pre-existing problem prior to their drug abuse problem, frequently require rehabilitation services tailor-made to fulfill their specific needs and problems. Some challenges are physical in nature, because of the fact that drug users with HIV/AIDS almost never care for themselves and take the appropriate medicines they need to preserve their health. Therefore, they arrive to rehab in very poor physical shape and this will have to be addressed as a priority whilst addressing other important concerns. Besides the obvious requirement to supply medical services whilst in rehabilitation, individuals with HIV/AIDS must also deal with deeper issues which prompted their drug or alcohol use. Often, individuals have conditions in their lives which are strictly environmental which may have caused them to turn to drugs or alcohol, such as oppressive conditions within their lives or detrimental relationships. These are the issues which treatment counselors will target in HIV/AIDS rehab services.
