Being diagnosed with HIV/AIDS may set off substance abuse, or dangerous sexual behavior because of substance abuse may have caused to contract the illness. Individuals who have HIV/AIDS, either because of their drug use or as a pre-existing problem just before their drug abuse issue, typically require treatment services tailored to satisfy their particular demands and challenges. Many of these 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. Therefore, these individuals arrive to rehab in very poor physical shape and this will have to be addressed as a priority whilst addressing other important concerns. Apart from the obvious requirement to deliver medical solutions during rehab, people with HIV/AIDS will also need to deal with deeper issues which prompted their alcohol or drug use. Usually, individuals have situations in their lives which are purely environmental which may have caused them to turn to drugs or alcohol, like oppressive circumstances within their lives or negative relationships. These are the concerns which rehabilitation counselors will target in HIV/AIDS treatment services.
