Being diagnosed with HIV/AIDS may set off drug or alcohol use, or risky sexual conduct due to drug use may have caused the individual to contract the disease. Individuals who have HIV/AIDS, either on account of their substance abuse or as a pre-existing problem just before their substance abuse problem, often require rehabilitation services tailor-made in order to meet their particular demands and challenges. Some of these problems are physical in nature, because of the fact that drug users with HIV/AIDS hardly ever care for themselves and take the appropriate medications they need to maintain their health. Therefore, they arrive to rehabilitation in very poor health and this will have to be handled as a priority while also addressing other important issues. Aside from the obvious requirement to supply medical solutions whilst in treatment, people who have HIV/AIDS should also tackle deeper problems which brought about their drug or alcohol use. Very often, individuals have circumstances within their lives that are strictly environmental which may have triggered them to use drugs or alcohol, such as oppressive conditions within their lives or damaging relationships. These are the concerns which rehab counselors will target in HIV/AIDS rehab services.
