Being diagnosed with HIV/AIDS may trigger drug use, or risky sexual conduct because of drug use might have caused to contract the disease. Individuals who have HIV/AIDS, either because of their substance abuse or as a pre-existing problem prior to their drug abuse issue, often require rehab services tailor-made to meet their specific needs and challenges. Some of these problems are physical in nature, because of the fact that drug users with HIV/AIDS hardly ever take care of themselves and take the proper medicines they need to maintain their own health. Consequently, these individuals arrive to rehab in very poor physical shape and this will have to be handled as a priority whilst addressing other crucial issues. Apart from the obvious requirement to provide medical solutions while in rehabilitation, people with HIV/AIDS also have to deal with more deeply rooted problems which prompted their drug or alcohol use. Often, people have circumstances within their lives which are strictly environmental which may have triggered them to use drugs or alcohol, like oppressive circumstances in their lives or damaging relationships. These are the issues which treatment counselors will target as part of HIV/AIDS rehabilitation services.
