Being diagnosed with HIV/AIDS may trigger drug or alcohol use, or dangerous sexual conduct because of drug use may have caused to contract the illness. People who have HIV/AIDS, either due to their drug use or as a pre-existing condition before their substance abuse issue, frequently require rehab services tailor-made to satisfy their particular demands and challenges. Some problems are physical in nature, due to the fact that drug users with HIV/AIDS very rarely look after themselves and take the proper medicines they need to preserve their own health. Therefore, these individuals arrive to rehab in very poor physical shape and this will have to be handled as a priority while dealing with other important concerns. Aside from the obvious requirement to provide medical services during rehabilitation, people who have HIV/AIDS must also address deeper issues which prompted their alcohol or drug use. Often, people have situations in their lives that are purely environmental which may have triggered them to use alcohol or drugs, including oppressive conditions in their lives or detrimental relationships. These are the issues which treatment counselors will concentrate on as part of HIV/AIDS treatment services.
