Being diagnosed with HIV/AIDS may trigger drug use, or risky sexual behavior due to substance abuse might have caused to contract the sickness. Individuals who have HIV/AIDS, either because of their drug use or as a pre-existing condition just before their drug use issue, typically require rehab services tailored in order to meet their particular demands and problems. Some challenges are physical in nature, because of the fact that drug users with HIV/AIDS hardly ever take care of themselves and take the proper medications they need to maintain their health. Consequently, they arrive to rehab in very poor health and this will have to be addressed as a priority while addressing other important concerns. Apart from the obvious necessity to provide medical services whilst in treatment, people with HIV/AIDS should also tackle more deeply rooted problems which brought about their alcohol or drug use. Usually, individuals have conditions within their lives which are strictly environmental which may have caused them to turn to alcohol or drugs, such as oppressive conditions within their lives or damaging relationships. These are the concerns which rehab counselors will give attention to as part of HIV/AIDS treatment services.
