Being diagnosed with HIV/AIDS may trigger drug or alcohol use, or dangerous sexual conduct because of substance abuse could have caused to contract the sickness. Individuals who have HIV/AIDS, either on account of their drug abuse or as a pre-existing problem prior to their drug abuse problem, often require rehabilitation services tailor-made to meet their specific demands and challenges. Some problems are physical in nature, due to the fact that drug users with HIV/AIDS very rarely look after themselves and take the proper medicines they need to preserve their own health. Therefore, they arrive to rehab in very poor physical shape and this will have to be handled as a priority whilst dealing with other critical concerns. Besides the obvious necessity to offer medical services during treatment, those that have HIV/AIDS should also tackle more deeply rooted problems which brought about their alcohol or drug use. Often, people have situations within their lives which are purely environmental which may have triggered them to turn to drugs or alcohol, such as oppressive conditions in their lives or damaging relationships. These are the concerns which rehab counselors will target as part of HIV/AIDS rehab services.
