Being diagnosed with HIV/AIDS may trigger drug use, or risky sexual conduct because of drug abuse could possibly have caused the person to contract the sickness. Individuals who have HIV/AIDS, either due to their substance abuse or as a pre-existing condition prior to their drug abuse problem, typically require treatment services tailor-made to satisfy their specific needs and problems. A few of these problems are physical in nature, because of the fact that drug users with HIV/AIDS rarely take care of themselves and take the appropriate medicines they need to maintain their health. Therefore, they arrive to rehabilitation in very poor physical shape and this will have to be addressed as a priority whilst dealing with other important concerns. Apart from the obvious necessity to provide medical solutions during rehab, people who have HIV/AIDS will also need to address more deeply rooted issues which brought about their alcohol or drug use. Often, individuals have situations in their lives that are purely environmental which may have triggered them to turn to alcohol or drugs, such as oppressive circumstances in their lives or damaging relationships. These are the concerns which rehabilitation counselors will focus on in HIV/AIDS treatment services.
