Being diagnosed with HIV/AIDS may trigger drug use, or dangerous sexual behavior due to abusing drugs could have caused the individual to contract the disease. People who have HIV/AIDS, either as a result of their substance abuse or as a pre-existing problem before their drug abuse problem, often require treatment services tailored to meet their particular demands and problems. Many of these problems are physical in nature, due to the fact that drug users with HIV/AIDS hardly ever care for themselves and take the appropriate medications they need to maintain their own health. As a result, they arrive to rehabilitation in very poor physical shape and this will have to be handled as a priority while addressing other important issues. Aside from the obvious requirement to supply medical services during rehab, those that have HIV/AIDS should also tackle more deeply rooted issues which brought about their drug or alcohol use. Often, individuals have situations within their lives that are strictly environmental which may have triggered them to turn to drugs or alcohol, such as oppressive situations in their lives or negative relationships. These are the concerns which rehab counselors will give attention to in HIV/AIDS rehabilitation services.
