Being diagnosed with HIV/AIDS may set off drug or alcohol use, or dangerous sexual conduct due to substance abuse could possibly have caused to contract the illness. People who have HIV/AIDS, either because of their drug use or as a pre-existing condition before their substance abuse problem, often require treatment services tailored to satisfy their specific demands and challenges. Some of these problems are physical in nature, due to the fact that drug users with HIV/AIDS rarely look after themselves and take the appropriate medications they need to maintain their health. Therefore, they arrive to rehab in very poor physical shape and this will have to be addressed as a priority while also dealing with other important issues. Apart from the obvious requirement to supply medical services whilst in rehab, people who have HIV/AIDS also have to address more deeply rooted issues which prompted their alcohol or drug use. Often, individuals have conditions within their lives which are purely environmental which may have caused them to turn to drugs or alcohol, like oppressive conditions within their lives or negative relationships. These are the concerns which rehab counselors will target in HIV/AIDS rehabilitation services.
