Being diagnosed with HIV/AIDS may trigger drug use, or dangerous sexual behavior because of drug use might have caused the individual to contract the disease. Individuals who have HIV/AIDS, either because of their drug use or as a pre-existing problem prior to their drug use issue, frequently require rehab services tailored in order to meet their particular needs and challenges. Some challenges are physical in nature, because of the fact that drug users with HIV/AIDS rarely care for themselves and take the proper medications they need to maintain their health. As a result, they arrive to rehab in very poor physical shape and this will have to be addressed as a priority whilst dealing with other important issues. Besides the obvious requirement to supply medical services while in treatment, people who have HIV/AIDS also have to deal with deeper issues which prompted their drug or alcohol use. Often, individuals have situations within their lives that are purely environmental which may have triggered them to turn to alcohol or drugs, such as oppressive circumstances within their lives or negative relationships. These are the concerns which rehabilitation counselors will target as part of HIV/AIDS rehab services.
