Being diagnosed with HIV/AIDS may set off drug or alcohol use, or dangerous sexual conduct as a result of substance abuse might have caused the individual to contract the sickness. Individuals who have HIV/AIDS, either due to their drug use or as a pre-existing problem prior to their drug use problem, often require rehab services tailor-made to fulfill their particular demands and problems. Some 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 appropriate medications they need to maintain their health. Because of this, they arrive to rehab in very poor physical shape and this will have to be handled as a priority whilst dealing with other important issues. Aside from the obvious requirement to provide medical solutions whilst in rehabilitation, individuals with HIV/AIDS must also tackle deeper problems which prompted their alcohol or drug use. Often, people have circumstances in their lives which are purely environmental which may have caused them to use alcohol or drugs, including oppressive circumstances in their lives or detrimental relationships. These are the concerns which rehabilitation counselors will target in HIV/AIDS treatment services.
