Being diagnosed with HIV/AIDS may trigger substance abuse, or dangerous sexual behavior because of abusing drugs may have caused the individual to contract the sickness. Individuals who have HIV/AIDS, either due to their substance abuse or as a pre-existing problem prior to their substance abuse problem, typically require rehabilitation services tailor-made in order to meet their specific demands and challenges. Some of these problems are physical in nature, due to the fact that drug users with HIV/AIDS rarely take care of themselves and take the proper medicines they need to preserve their health. Consequently, they arrive to rehabilitation in very poor physical shape and this will have to be handled as a priority whilst addressing other crucial concerns. Apart from the obvious requirement to supply medical services during rehab, individuals with HIV/AIDS also have to tackle more deeply rooted problems which brought about their alcohol or drug use. Very often, people have conditions in their lives that are strictly environmental which may have triggered them to use alcohol or drugs, including oppressive circumstances within their lives or detrimental relationships. These are the concerns which rehabilitation counselors will concentrate on as part of HIV/AIDS treatment services.
