Being diagnosed with HIV/AIDS may trigger drug abuse, or dangerous sexual conduct due to drug abuse might have caused the individual to contract the disease. Individuals who have HIV/AIDS, either as a result of their drug abuse or as a pre-existing condition prior to their drug use problem, frequently require rehabilitation services tailor-made in order to meet their specific needs and problems. Some of these problems are physical in nature, because of the fact that drug users with HIV/AIDS hardly ever care for themselves and take the appropriate medicines they need to maintain their own health. Because of this, these individuals arrive to treatment in very poor physical shape and this will have to be addressed as a priority while dealing with other critical concerns. In addition to the obvious necessity to supply medical services during treatment, people who have HIV/AIDS will also need to address deeper issues which brought about their drug or alcohol use. Very often, people have situations in their lives that happen to be purely environmental which may have caused them to turn to drugs or alcohol, like oppressive conditions in their lives or detrimental relationships. These are the concerns which rehabilitation counselors will target as part of HIV/AIDS rehabilitation services.
