Being diagnosed with HIV/AIDS may trigger drug abuse, or dangerous sexual conduct due to substance abuse could have caused to contract the disease. Individuals who have HIV/AIDS, either as a result of their drug abuse or as a pre-existing problem just before their drug use problem, often require treatment services tailor-made to meet their particular demands and problems. Many of these challenges are physical in nature, because of the fact that drug users with HIV/AIDS rarely look after themselves and take the appropriate medications they need to maintain their own health. Therefore, they arrive to treatment in very poor physical shape and this will have to be handled as a priority while also addressing other critical issues. In addition to the obvious necessity to deliver medical services during rehab, people who have HIV/AIDS should also tackle deeper problems which prompted their drug or alcohol use. Frequently, people have conditions in their lives that are strictly environmental which may have caused them to turn to alcohol or drugs, like oppressive conditions within their lives or detrimental relationships. These are the issues which rehab counselors will concentrate on as part of HIV/AIDS rehab services.
