Being diagnosed with HIV/AIDS may set off drug abuse, or risky sexual behavior due to drug use could possibly have caused to contract the disease. People who have HIV/AIDS, either on account of their drug abuse or as a pre-existing problem before their drug abuse problem, often require treatment services tailored to satisfy their specific needs and problems. Some problems are physical in nature, because of the fact that drug users with HIV/AIDS rarely look after themselves and take the appropriate medications they need to preserve their health. Consequently, they arrive to rehabilitation in very poor physical shape and this will have to be handled as a priority while also addressing other important issues. Apart from the obvious requirement to supply medical services during treatment, those that have HIV/AIDS must also deal with more deeply rooted issues which brought about their drug or alcohol use. Often, people have conditions within their lives that are strictly environmental which may have triggered them to use drugs or alcohol, like oppressive situations in their lives or detrimental relationships. These are the concerns which rehab counselors will target as part of HIV/AIDS rehabilitation services.
