Being diagnosed with HIV/AIDS may trigger drug use, or risky sexual conduct as a result of abusing drugs could possibly have caused the individual to contract the disease. Individuals who have HIV/AIDS, either because of their substance abuse or as a pre-existing problem before their drug use issue, often require rehabilitation services tailored in order to meet their specific needs and problems. Some problems are physical in nature, due to the fact that drug users with HIV/AIDS very rarely take care of themselves and take the appropriate medicines they need to preserve their own health. Consequently, these individuals arrive to rehabilitation in very poor physical shape and this will have to be addressed as a priority while also addressing other important concerns. Apart from the obvious requirement to provide medical solutions during treatment, people with HIV/AIDS will also need to deal with more deeply rooted issues which brought about their alcohol or drug use. Frequently, people have circumstances within their lives which are purely environmental which may have caused them to turn to alcohol or drugs, like oppressive conditions within their lives or detrimental relationships. These are the concerns which rehab counselors will concentrate on in HIV/AIDS rehab services.
