Being diagnosed with HIV/AIDS may trigger drug or alcohol use, or dangerous sexual behavior due to drug abuse may have caused to contract the disease. Individuals who have HIV/AIDS, either due to their drug use or as a pre-existing problem before their drug abuse problem, typically require rehab services tailor-made to fulfill their specific needs and challenges. Some of these challenges are physical in nature, due to the fact that substance abusers with HIV/AIDS hardly ever care for themselves and take the appropriate medications they need to preserve their own health. Because of this, they arrive to treatment in very poor physical shape and this will have to be handled as a priority whilst dealing with other critical concerns. Aside from the obvious requirement to deliver medical solutions during rehabilitation, people with HIV/AIDS also have to address deeper issues which brought about their alcohol or drug use. Very often, people have circumstances within their lives which are strictly environmental which may have triggered them to use alcohol or drugs, like oppressive conditions within their lives or detrimental relationships. These are the concerns which treatment counselors will concentrate on in HIV/AIDS treatment services.
