Being diagnosed with HIV/AIDS may trigger substance abuse, or dangerous sexual conduct due to drug abuse may have caused the individual to contract the sickness. People who have HIV/AIDS, either on account of their drug abuse or as a pre-existing problem prior to their drug abuse problem, typically require rehab services tailored to fulfill their specific needs and problems. Some challenges are physical in nature, due to the fact that drug users with HIV/AIDS very rarely look after themselves and take the appropriate medications they need to maintain their health. Therefore, they arrive to rehab in very poor physical shape and this will have to be handled as a priority whilst addressing other critical concerns. In addition to the obvious necessity to offer medical solutions during treatment, those that have HIV/AIDS should also tackle more deeply rooted issues which brought about their alcohol or drug use. Frequently, people have conditions within their lives which are purely environmental which may have triggered them to turn to drugs or alcohol, such as oppressive circumstances within their lives or damaging relationships. These are the concerns which rehab counselors will target in HIV/AIDS rehabilitation services.
