Being diagnosed with HIV/AIDS may set off drug or alcohol use, or dangerous sexual conduct as a result of abusing drugs could possibly have caused to contract the illness. Individuals who have HIV/AIDS, either as a result of their drug abuse or as a pre-existing problem before their drug abuse problem, frequently require rehabilitation services tailored to meet their specific needs and challenges. A few of these challenges are physical in nature, due to the fact that drug users with HIV/AIDS very rarely look after themselves and take the appropriate medications they need to preserve their own health. Consequently, they arrive to treatment in very poor health and this will have to be handled as a priority whilst dealing with other important concerns. In addition to the obvious requirement to supply medical solutions while in treatment, individuals with HIV/AIDS must also tackle more deeply rooted issues which prompted their alcohol or drug use. Usually, individuals have conditions within their lives which are purely environmental which may have caused them to turn to drugs or alcohol, including oppressive conditions within their lives or detrimental relationships. These are the concerns which rehabilitation counselors will target as part of HIV/AIDS rehabilitation services.
