Being diagnosed with HIV/AIDS may trigger drug use, or risky sexual conduct as a result of drug abuse might have caused the person to contract the disease. People who have HIV/AIDS, either as a result of their drug abuse or as a pre-existing problem prior to their drug use issue, frequently require treatment services tailored to meet their particular needs and problems. Many 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 medications they need to maintain their health. Consequently, these individuals arrive to treatment in very poor physical shape and this will have to be handled as a priority whilst dealing with other crucial issues. Aside from the obvious requirement to deliver medical solutions whilst in rehabilitation, people who have HIV/AIDS should also tackle more deeply rooted problems which brought about their drug or alcohol use. Often, people have situations in their lives which are purely environmental which may have triggered them to use drugs or alcohol, including oppressive situations in their lives or damaging relationships. These are the issues which treatment counselors will concentrate on in HIV/AIDS rehabilitation services.
