Being diagnosed with HIV/AIDS may set off drug use, or dangerous sexual behavior because of drug abuse could have caused to contract the disease. Individuals who have HIV/AIDS, either on account of their drug use or as a pre-existing condition prior to their drug abuse problem, often require rehabilitation services tailored in order to meet their specific needs and challenges. Many of these problems are physical in nature, because of the fact that drug users with HIV/AIDS hardly ever look after themselves and take the proper medicines they need to maintain their own health. Therefore, they arrive to rehabilitation in very poor physical shape and this will have to be addressed as a priority whilst dealing with other important issues. Aside from the obvious requirement to offer medical services during rehabilitation, people who have HIV/AIDS should also address more deeply rooted issues which brought about their alcohol or drug use. Very often, individuals have conditions within their lives that are purely environmental which may have caused them to use alcohol or drugs, including oppressive circumstances within their lives or damaging relationships. These are the issues which rehabilitation counselors will focus on as part of HIV/AIDS treatment services.
