Being diagnosed with HIV/AIDS may trigger drug or alcohol use, or dangerous sexual conduct as a result of drug use could have caused the individual to contract the illness. Individuals who have HIV/AIDS, either as a result of their drug abuse or as a pre-existing problem prior to their substance abuse issue, typically require rehab services tailor-made in order to meet their particular demands and challenges. Some challenges are physical in nature, due to 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. Consequently, these individuals arrive to rehab in very poor physical shape and this will have to be addressed as a priority whilst addressing other critical concerns. In addition to the obvious requirement to deliver medical solutions while in rehab, people with HIV/AIDS also have to deal with more deeply rooted problems which prompted their drug or alcohol use. Very often, people have circumstances in their lives which are strictly environmental which may have triggered them to turn to drugs or alcohol, including oppressive situations in their lives or negative relationships. These are the concerns which treatment counselors will give attention to as part of HIV/AIDS rehab services.
