Being diagnosed with HIV/AIDS may set off drug or alcohol use, or dangerous sexual behavior due to drug abuse could have caused the individual to contract the sickness. Individuals who have HIV/AIDS, either due to their drug abuse or as a pre-existing problem before their substance abuse problem, typically require rehab services tailored to satisfy their specific demands and challenges. A few of these problems are physical in nature, due to the fact that substance abusers with HIV/AIDS almost never look after themselves and take the proper medications they need to maintain their health. Consequently, these individuals arrive to rehabilitation in very poor health and this will have to be addressed as a priority while addressing other crucial concerns. Besides the obvious necessity to supply medical solutions while in treatment, individuals with HIV/AIDS also have to tackle more deeply rooted issues which prompted their alcohol or drug use. Usually, people have circumstances within their lives that are strictly environmental which may have triggered them to use alcohol or drugs, like oppressive circumstances in their lives or detrimental relationships. These are the concerns which rehabilitation counselors will give attention to in HIV/AIDS treatment services.
