Being diagnosed with HIV/AIDS may trigger drug or alcohol use, or risky sexual behavior because of abusing drugs could have caused the person to contract the illness. Individuals who have HIV/AIDS, either because of their drug use or as a pre-existing condition prior to their substance abuse problem, typically require rehabilitation services tailored to fulfill their specific demands and problems. Some challenges are physical in nature, because of the fact that substance abusers with HIV/AIDS rarely take care of themselves and take the proper medications they need to maintain their health. Therefore, these individuals arrive to rehab in very poor health and this will have to be handled as a priority while addressing other important issues. Besides the obvious requirement to supply medical solutions whilst in rehabilitation, those that have HIV/AIDS must also tackle more deeply rooted problems which prompted their alcohol or drug use. Frequently, people have situations in their lives which are strictly environmental which may have caused them to use drugs or alcohol, like oppressive conditions within their lives or negative relationships. These are the concerns which rehab counselors will target in HIV/AIDS treatment services.
