Being diagnosed with HIV/AIDS may set off drug abuse, or dangerous sexual conduct as a result of substance abuse may have caused the individual to contract the disease. Individuals who have HIV/AIDS, either as a result of their drug use or as a pre-existing condition just before their drug use problem, frequently require rehabilitation services tailor-made to fulfill their specific demands and problems. A few of these challenges are physical in nature, because of the fact that substance abusers with HIV/AIDS hardly ever take care of themselves and take the proper medications they need to maintain their own health. Therefore, they arrive to rehabilitation in very poor health and this will have to be addressed as a priority while addressing other important concerns. In addition to the obvious requirement to offer medical services whilst in rehabilitation, individuals with HIV/AIDS also have to tackle more deeply rooted issues which brought about 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, including oppressive circumstances in their lives or detrimental relationships. These are the issues which rehab counselors will concentrate on as part of HIV/AIDS rehabilitation services.
