Being diagnosed with HIV/AIDS may trigger drug abuse, or dangerous sexual conduct due to drug abuse could have caused the person to contract the disease. Individuals who have HIV/AIDS, either due to their drug abuse or as a pre-existing condition prior to their substance abuse problem, often require rehab services tailor-made to fulfill their particular demands and challenges. A few of these challenges are physical in nature, due to the fact that drug users with HIV/AIDS very rarely care for themselves and take the proper medicines they need to maintain their own health. Consequently, they arrive to rehab in very poor health and this will have to be addressed as a priority while also addressing other critical concerns. Aside from the obvious necessity to deliver medical services during rehabilitation, individuals with HIV/AIDS should also deal with more deeply rooted issues which brought about their alcohol or drug use. Usually, people have situations within their lives which are purely environmental which may have caused them to use drugs or alcohol, such as oppressive conditions within their lives or negative relationships. These are the issues which rehabilitation counselors will give attention to as part of HIV/AIDS rehabilitation services.
