Being diagnosed with HIV/AIDS may trigger drug or alcohol use, or risky sexual conduct because of drug abuse could have caused to contract the illness. Individuals who have HIV/AIDS, either because of their drug abuse or as a pre-existing problem before their drug use problem, often require treatment services tailor-made to fulfill their specific demands and problems. A few of these problems are physical in nature, because of the fact that drug users with HIV/AIDS rarely take care of themselves and take the proper medications they need to preserve their health. As a result, these individuals arrive to rehab in very poor health and this will have to be handled as a priority while dealing with other crucial concerns. Aside from the obvious necessity to deliver medical solutions during rehabilitation, people who have HIV/AIDS also have to address deeper issues which brought about their alcohol or drug use. Frequently, people have circumstances within their lives which are purely environmental which may have caused them to turn to alcohol or drugs, such as oppressive situations within their lives or damaging relationships. These are the concerns which rehabilitation counselors will focus on as part of HIV/AIDS rehab services.
