Being diagnosed with HIV/AIDS may trigger substance abuse, or risky sexual behavior because of abusing drugs could have caused the person to contract the disease. Individuals who have HIV/AIDS, either on account of their drug use or as a pre-existing problem prior to their drug use problem, often require rehabilitation services tailored to meet their specific demands and problems. A few of these challenges are physical in nature, because of the fact that drug users with HIV/AIDS hardly ever care for themselves and take the appropriate medicines they need to maintain their own health. Therefore, these individuals arrive to rehab in very poor health and this will have to be handled as a priority whilst addressing other important concerns. Aside from the obvious requirement to provide medical solutions while in treatment, those that have HIV/AIDS should also deal with more deeply rooted issues which brought about their alcohol or drug use. Usually, individuals have situations in their lives which are purely environmental which may have caused them to use alcohol or drugs, including oppressive conditions within their lives or detrimental relationships. These are the issues which rehabilitation counselors will focus on in HIV/AIDS rehabilitation services.
