Being diagnosed with HIV/AIDS may set off drug use, or dangerous sexual conduct because of abusing drugs could possibly have caused the individual to contract the disease. People who have HIV/AIDS, either due to their drug use or as a pre-existing problem prior to their substance abuse problem, frequently require rehab services tailor-made to satisfy their specific needs and challenges. Some of these challenges are physical in nature, because of the fact that drug users with HIV/AIDS rarely look after themselves and take the proper medications they need to maintain their health. Consequently, they arrive to treatment in very poor physical shape and this will have to be addressed as a priority whilst addressing other important issues. Besides the obvious requirement to offer medical solutions whilst in treatment, individuals with HIV/AIDS should also tackle more deeply rooted problems which prompted their alcohol or drug use. Usually, people have circumstances in their lives that happen to be purely environmental which may have caused them to turn to alcohol or drugs, such as oppressive situations in their lives or negative relationships. These are the concerns which rehabilitation counselors will focus on as part of HIV/AIDS rehabilitation services.
