Being diagnosed with HIV/AIDS may set off drug or alcohol use, or risky sexual conduct as a result of drug use could have caused to contract the disease. Individuals who have HIV/AIDS, either because of their drug use or as a pre-existing problem before their substance abuse problem, typically require treatment services tailored in order to meet their specific needs and problems. Some of these problems are physical in nature, due to the fact that drug users with HIV/AIDS rarely care for themselves and take the proper medications they need to maintain their own health. Therefore, they arrive to treatment in ibad health and this will have to be addressed as a priority while addressing other important concerns. In addition to the obvious necessity to provide medical solutions while in treatment, people with HIV/AIDS must also address more deeply rooted problems which prompted their drug or alcohol use. Often, individuals have conditions in their lives which are purely environmental which may have triggered them to use drugs or alcohol, including oppressive conditions within their lives or damaging relationships. These are the concerns which treatment counselors will focus on in HIV/AIDS rehab services.
