Being diagnosed with HIV/AIDS may trigger drug abuse, or risky sexual conduct because of substance abuse could possibly have caused the individual to contract the disease. Individuals who have HIV/AIDS, either because of their drug use or as a pre-existing problem just before their drug abuse problem, typically require rehabilitation services tailor-made to fulfill their specific demands and problems. Some of these problems are physical in nature, due to the fact that drug users with HIV/AIDS very rarely care for themselves and take the proper medications they need to maintain their health. Because of this, they arrive to rehabilitation in very poor physical shape and this will have to be addressed as a priority while also dealing with other important concerns. In addition to the obvious requirement to deliver medical solutions during rehabilitation, individuals with HIV/AIDS will also need to tackle more deeply rooted issues which brought about their drug or alcohol use. Usually, individuals have situations within their lives which are strictly environmental which may have caused them to use alcohol or drugs, like oppressive conditions within their lives or damaging relationships. These are the concerns which rehabilitation counselors will give attention to as part of HIV/AIDS rehab services.
