Being diagnosed with HIV/AIDS may trigger drug use, or risky sexual behavior as a result of abusing drugs could possibly have caused to contract the disease. People who have HIV/AIDS, either on account of their drug use or as a pre-existing problem just before their substance abuse problem, typically require rehab services tailor-made in order to meet their specific needs and problems. Some problems are physical in nature, because of the fact that substance abusers with HIV/AIDS almost never look after themselves and take the appropriate medications they need to preserve their health. Therefore, these individuals arrive to rehab in very poor health and this will have to be addressed as a priority whilst addressing other critical concerns. Aside from the obvious requirement to offer medical solutions whilst in rehabilitation, people who have HIV/AIDS must also deal with more deeply rooted problems which brought about their drug or alcohol use. Frequently, people have circumstances in their lives which are strictly environmental which may have triggered them to turn to alcohol or drugs, including oppressive situations in their lives or detrimental relationships. These are the concerns which rehabilitation counselors will concentrate on as part of HIV/AIDS rehabilitation services.
