Being diagnosed with HIV/AIDS may trigger drug use, or risky sexual conduct because of drug abuse may have caused the person to contract the disease. Individuals who have HIV/AIDS, either as a result of their drug use or as a pre-existing condition prior to their drug use issue, frequently require rehab services tailored to fulfill their particular needs and problems. Some problems are physical in nature, because of the fact that drug users with HIV/AIDS rarely look after themselves and take the appropriate medicines they need to preserve their health. Therefore, these individuals arrive to treatment in very poor physical shape and this will have to be handled as a priority while dealing with other crucial issues. In addition to the obvious necessity to offer medical solutions whilst in treatment, individuals with HIV/AIDS also have to tackle more deeply rooted problems which brought about their alcohol or drug use. Often, people have circumstances within their lives which are purely environmental which may have triggered them to turn to drugs or alcohol, like oppressive circumstances in their lives or detrimental relationships. These are the concerns which rehabilitation counselors will give attention to as part of HIV/AIDS treatment services.
