Being diagnosed with HIV/AIDS may set off drug use, or risky sexual behavior due to drug use might have caused the individual to contract the illness. Individuals who have HIV/AIDS, either because of their drug use or as a pre-existing problem before their drug use problem, frequently require rehabilitation services tailor-made in order to meet their specific needs and challenges. A few of these challenges are physical in nature, due to the fact that drug users with HIV/AIDS almost never care for themselves and take the appropriate medicines they need to preserve their own health. Because of this, these individuals arrive to rehabilitation in very poor physical shape and this will have to be addressed as a priority while also addressing other crucial concerns. Aside from the obvious necessity to deliver medical solutions whilst in rehab, those that have HIV/AIDS will also need to tackle more deeply rooted problems which prompted their alcohol or drug use. Frequently, people have conditions in their lives which are strictly environmental which may have triggered them to turn to drugs or alcohol, such as oppressive situations in their lives or negative relationships. These are the concerns which rehabilitation counselors will concentrate on as part of HIV/AIDS rehab services.
