Being diagnosed with HIV/AIDS may set off drug use, or risky sexual behavior as a result of drug abuse might have caused the individual to contract the disease. People who have HIV/AIDS, either on account of their drug abuse or as a pre-existing condition prior to their drug use problem, often require rehabilitation services tailor-made to satisfy their particular demands and challenges. Some of these challenges are physical in nature, because of the fact that drug users with HIV/AIDS almost never look after themselves and take the proper medicines they need to maintain 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 whilst addressing other critical issues. Apart from the obvious necessity to provide medical solutions during rehab, people who have HIV/AIDS will also need to deal with more deeply rooted issues which prompted their drug or alcohol use. Usually, individuals have situations in their lives that are purely environmental which may have caused them to use drugs or alcohol, including oppressive situations in their lives or negative relationships. These are the concerns which rehabilitation counselors will concentrate on in HIV/AIDS treatment services.
