Being diagnosed with HIV/AIDS may set off drug use, or dangerous sexual conduct because of drug use may have caused the individual to contract the illness. People who have HIV/AIDS, either because of their substance abuse or as a pre-existing condition prior to their substance abuse issue, typically require rehabilitation services tailored to fulfill their specific needs and problems. Some of these challenges are physical in nature, because of 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. Therefore, they arrive to rehabilitation in very poor health and this will have to be addressed as a priority while addressing other critical concerns. Apart from the obvious requirement to offer medical solutions while in rehabilitation, people with HIV/AIDS must also tackle more deeply rooted problems which brought about their alcohol or drug use. Frequently, individuals have situations in their lives that happen to be purely environmental which may have triggered them to use alcohol or drugs, including oppressive conditions within their lives or damaging relationships. These are the concerns which treatment counselors will target as part of HIV/AIDS rehabilitation services.
