Being diagnosed with HIV/AIDS may set off drug abuse, or dangerous sexual behavior because of drug abuse 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 use problem, typically require treatment services tailored in order to meet their particular demands and problems. Some of these problems are physical in nature, because of the fact that substance abusers with HIV/AIDS rarely care for themselves and take the appropriate medicines they need to preserve their health. Because of this, these individuals arrive to rehab in very poor health and this will have to be addressed as a priority while also addressing other critical concerns. Apart from the obvious requirement to supply medical solutions while in rehab, individuals with HIV/AIDS will also need to tackle deeper problems which prompted their drug or alcohol use. Frequently, people have conditions in their lives that are purely environmental which may have caused them to use drugs or alcohol, like oppressive conditions in their lives or negative relationships. These are the concerns which rehabilitation counselors will focus on as part of HIV/AIDS rehabilitation services.
