Being diagnosed with HIV/AIDS may trigger drug or alcohol use, or risky sexual conduct due to substance abuse could 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 just before their drug use issue, typically require rehab services tailored to fulfill their specific needs and challenges. A few of these problems are physical in nature, due to the fact that substance abusers with HIV/AIDS very rarely take care of themselves and take the proper medicines they need to preserve their health. Because of this, they arrive to rehab in very poor physical shape and this will have to be addressed as a priority whilst dealing with other critical concerns. In addition to the obvious requirement to supply medical solutions during rehab, individuals with HIV/AIDS must also address deeper issues which brought about their drug or alcohol use. Very often, individuals have conditions in their lives which are purely environmental which may have caused them to use drugs or alcohol, such as oppressive conditions in their lives or detrimental relationships. These are the issues which rehab counselors will give attention to in HIV/AIDS rehabilitation services.
