Being diagnosed with HIV/AIDS may set off drug or alcohol use, or risky sexual conduct as a result of drug abuse may have caused the individual to contract the disease. Individuals who have HIV/AIDS, either as a result of their substance abuse or as a pre-existing condition just before their drug use issue, frequently require rehab services tailored to satisfy their particular demands and problems. Some of these problems are physical in nature, because of the fact that drug users with HIV/AIDS very rarely look after themselves and take the appropriate medicines they need to maintain their own health. Because of this, these individuals arrive to treatment in very poor health and this will have to be handled as a priority while also dealing with other important concerns. In addition to the obvious requirement to supply medical services during rehab, individuals with HIV/AIDS must also address more deeply rooted issues which prompted their alcohol or drug use. Frequently, people have circumstances within their lives which are purely environmental which may have triggered them to turn to alcohol or drugs, including oppressive circumstances in their lives or detrimental relationships. These are the issues which rehab counselors will concentrate on in HIV/AIDS rehab services.
