Being diagnosed with HIV/AIDS may set off drug or alcohol use, or risky sexual conduct because of drug abuse could 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 before their drug abuse issue, often require rehabilitation services tailored to satisfy their particular demands and challenges. Some of these problems are physical in nature, due to the fact that substance abusers with HIV/AIDS rarely take care of themselves and take the proper medicines they need to preserve their own health. Because of this, these individuals arrive to rehabilitation in very poor physical shape and this will have to be addressed as a priority while addressing other important issues. Besides the obvious necessity to deliver medical services whilst in rehabilitation, people who have HIV/AIDS will also need to deal with more deeply rooted issues which prompted their drug or alcohol use. Usually, people have circumstances within their lives that are strictly environmental which may have triggered them to use alcohol or drugs, including oppressive circumstances in their lives or damaging relationships. These are the concerns which rehab counselors will give attention to as part of HIV/AIDS rehabilitation services.
