Being diagnosed with HIV/AIDS may set off drug use, or dangerous sexual conduct because of drug abuse may have caused the person to contract the sickness. Individuals who have HIV/AIDS, either due to their drug use or as a pre-existing condition prior to their drug use problem, often require treatment services tailor-made in order to meet their particular demands and challenges. Many of these problems are physical in nature, due to the fact that drug users with HIV/AIDS very rarely take care of themselves and take the appropriate medications they need to preserve their health. Therefore, they arrive to rehab in very poor health and this will have to be handled as a priority while addressing other critical issues. Besides the obvious necessity to offer medical services during rehab, people with HIV/AIDS must also deal with deeper problems which prompted their drug or alcohol use. Usually, individuals have conditions in their lives that are purely environmental which may have caused them to turn to drugs or alcohol, like oppressive circumstances in their lives or damaging relationships. These are the issues which treatment counselors will give attention to in HIV/AIDS rehabilitation services.
