Being diagnosed with HIV/AIDS may trigger drug use, or dangerous sexual conduct due to drug use could have caused the individual to contract the sickness. People who have HIV/AIDS, either on account of their substance abuse or as a pre-existing condition before their drug abuse problem, often require treatment services tailor-made to satisfy their particular needs and challenges. Many of these challenges are physical in nature, because of the fact that drug users with HIV/AIDS almost never look after themselves and take the proper medicines they need to preserve their health. Consequently, these individuals arrive to rehab in very poor physical shape and this will have to be addressed as a priority while addressing other critical issues. Apart from the obvious necessity to supply medical services whilst in treatment, those that have HIV/AIDS also have to address more deeply rooted issues which prompted their drug or alcohol use. Very often, people have circumstances in their lives that are purely environmental which may have triggered them to use alcohol or drugs, such as oppressive situations within their lives or damaging relationships. These are the concerns which rehab counselors will target in HIV/AIDS rehabilitation services.
