Being diagnosed with HIV/AIDS may trigger drug or alcohol use, or risky sexual behavior because of drug abuse could have caused the individual to contract the sickness. People who have HIV/AIDS, either due to their drug use or as a pre-existing problem prior to their substance abuse problem, frequently require rehab services tailor-made to satisfy their particular demands and problems. Many of these challenges are physical in nature, because of the fact that drug users with HIV/AIDS very rarely care for themselves and take the appropriate medicines they need to preserve their health. Because of this, these individuals arrive to rehabilitation in very poor health and this will have to be handled as a priority whilst addressing other crucial issues. Apart from the obvious requirement to offer medical services while in treatment, people with HIV/AIDS will also need to deal with deeper problems which brought about their drug or alcohol use. Usually, individuals have situations in their lives that are strictly environmental which may have triggered them to turn to drugs or alcohol, such as oppressive circumstances in their lives or detrimental relationships. These are the issues which rehab counselors will focus on in HIV/AIDS rehabilitation services.
