Being diagnosed with HIV/AIDS may trigger drug use, or risky sexual behavior because of substance abuse might have caused the individual to contract the illness. Individuals who have HIV/AIDS, either because of their drug use or as a pre-existing problem just before their drug abuse problem, typically require rehabilitation services tailor-made in order to meet their specific demands and challenges. Some challenges are physical in nature, due to the fact that drug users with HIV/AIDS very rarely take care of themselves and take the appropriate medications they need to preserve their health. Therefore, they arrive to rehab in very poor physical shape and this will have to be addressed as a priority whilst addressing other important concerns. Aside from the obvious requirement to provide medical solutions during rehabilitation, those that have HIV/AIDS will also need to deal with deeper problems which prompted their drug or alcohol use. Usually, people have circumstances within their lives that are strictly environmental which may have caused them to turn to alcohol or drugs, such as oppressive situations within their lives or damaging relationships. These are the concerns which rehab counselors will give attention to in HIV/AIDS rehab services.
