Being diagnosed with HIV/AIDS may set off drug use, or risky sexual behavior because of drug abuse could have caused to contract the disease. People who have HIV/AIDS, either due to their substance abuse or as a pre-existing problem before their drug abuse problem, frequently require treatment services tailored to meet their particular demands and problems. A few of these problems are physical in nature, because of the fact that drug users with HIV/AIDS almost never care for themselves and take the appropriate medicines 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 crucial issues. Apart from the obvious requirement to provide medical services during rehabilitation, individuals with HIV/AIDS will also need to address deeper issues 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 use drugs or alcohol, such as oppressive situations in their lives or damaging relationships. These are the issues which rehabilitation counselors will concentrate on as part of HIV/AIDS rehab services.
