Being diagnosed with HIV/AIDS may set off drug use, or risky sexual behavior because of abusing drugs could possibly have caused the individual to contract the illness. Individuals who have HIV/AIDS, either on account of their drug use or as a pre-existing problem just before their drug abuse problem, often require rehabilitation services tailored to fulfill their specific needs and challenges. Many of these challenges are physical in nature, due to the fact that drug users with HIV/AIDS hardly ever take care of themselves and take the proper medicines they need to preserve their own health. As a result, they arrive to rehabilitation in very poor physical shape and this will have to be addressed as a priority while dealing with other important issues. Besides the obvious requirement to deliver medical services while in treatment, people who have HIV/AIDS should also tackle deeper issues which brought about their drug or alcohol use. Frequently, people have situations within their lives which are purely environmental which may have triggered them to turn to drugs or alcohol, like oppressive circumstances in their lives or damaging relationships. These are the issues which rehab counselors will target as part of HIV/AIDS rehabilitation services.
