Being diagnosed with HIV/AIDS may set off drug use, or risky sexual conduct due to abusing drugs may have caused the person to contract the disease. People who have HIV/AIDS, either because of their substance abuse or as a pre-existing condition prior to their substance abuse problem, typically require treatment services tailor-made in order to meet their particular needs and challenges. A few of these problems are physical in nature, because of the fact that drug users with HIV/AIDS rarely take care of themselves and take the proper medications they need to maintain their health. Therefore, these individuals arrive to treatment in very poor physical shape and this will have to be addressed as a priority whilst addressing other crucial issues. In addition to the obvious requirement to supply medical solutions during rehab, people with HIV/AIDS should also deal with deeper problems which brought about their alcohol or drug use. Usually, individuals have circumstances within their lives which are strictly environmental which may have caused them to turn to drugs or alcohol, like oppressive situations in their lives or negative relationships. These are the concerns which rehab counselors will concentrate on as part of HIV/AIDS treatment services.
