Being diagnosed with HIV/AIDS may trigger drug abuse, or risky sexual conduct as a result of drug use could possibly have caused the person to contract the sickness. People who have HIV/AIDS, either because of their drug use or as a pre-existing problem prior to their drug abuse problem, typically require rehabilitation services tailor-made in order to meet their particular demands and problems. Some challenges are physical in nature, because of the fact that drug users with HIV/AIDS almost never care for themselves and take the appropriate medications they need to maintain their health. As a result, these individuals arrive to rehabilitation in very poor physical shape and this will have to be handled as a priority while dealing with other critical concerns. Aside from the obvious necessity to provide medical solutions during rehabilitation, individuals with HIV/AIDS should also deal with deeper issues which brought about their alcohol or drug use. Frequently, individuals have circumstances in their lives that are purely environmental which may have triggered them to turn to alcohol or drugs, such as oppressive circumstances within their lives or detrimental relationships. These are the concerns which rehab counselors will focus on as part of HIV/AIDS rehabilitation services.
