Being diagnosed with HIV/AIDS may trigger drug abuse, or dangerous sexual conduct as a result of abusing drugs could possibly have caused the individual to contract the disease. Individuals who have HIV/AIDS, either because of their drug abuse or as a pre-existing condition before their substance abuse problem, often require rehab services tailor-made to meet their specific demands and problems. Some challenges are physical in nature, due to the fact that substance abusers with HIV/AIDS almost never care for themselves and take the proper medicines they need to maintain their own health. Because of this, they arrive to rehabilitation in very poor physical shape and this will have to be addressed as a priority while also dealing with other crucial concerns. Apart from the obvious necessity to supply medical solutions while in rehabilitation, people who have HIV/AIDS also have to address more deeply rooted issues which brought about their alcohol or drug use. Usually, individuals have conditions within their lives which are purely environmental which may have triggered them to turn to drugs or alcohol, like oppressive situations in their lives or damaging relationships. These are the concerns which rehab counselors will focus on in HIV/AIDS rehabilitation services.
