Being diagnosed with HIV/AIDS may set off drug abuse, or risky sexual conduct because of abusing drugs might have caused the person to contract the disease. Individuals who have HIV/AIDS, either on account of their drug abuse or as a pre-existing condition before their drug abuse issue, frequently require rehab services tailored to fulfill their particular needs and problems. Many of these problems are physical in nature, due to the fact that substance abusers with HIV/AIDS very rarely look after themselves and take the appropriate medications 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 whilst dealing with other crucial issues. In addition to the obvious requirement to deliver medical solutions whilst in treatment, people with HIV/AIDS must also tackle deeper problems which brought about their alcohol or drug use. Frequently, individuals have situations in their lives which are strictly environmental which may have caused them to use alcohol or drugs, such as oppressive situations within their lives or damaging relationships. These are the issues which rehabilitation counselors will give attention to as part of HIV/AIDS rehabilitation services.
