Being diagnosed with HIV/AIDS may trigger drug use, or risky sexual behavior as a result of substance abuse could possibly have caused the person to contract the sickness. Individuals who have HIV/AIDS, either on account of their drug use or as a pre-existing condition before their substance abuse problem, frequently require rehabilitation services tailor-made to meet their particular demands and problems. Some of these problems are physical in nature, due to the fact that drug users with HIV/AIDS almost never look after themselves and take the appropriate medicines they need to maintain their own health. Consequently, these individuals arrive to rehab in very poor physical shape and this will have to be addressed as a priority while addressing other crucial issues. Besides the obvious requirement to provide medical services whilst in rehabilitation, individuals with HIV/AIDS must also tackle more deeply rooted problems which brought about their drug or alcohol use. Usually, individuals have conditions within their lives which are purely environmental which may have triggered them to use drugs or alcohol, including oppressive situations within their lives or damaging relationships. These are the concerns which rehabilitation counselors will focus on as part of HIV/AIDS treatment services.
