Being diagnosed with HIV/AIDS may set off drug abuse, or risky sexual conduct as a result of substance abuse might have caused the individual to contract the disease. People who have HIV/AIDS, either due to their drug use or as a pre-existing condition before their drug abuse problem, frequently require treatment services tailored to meet their particular demands and problems. Some challenges are physical in nature, because of the fact that drug users with HIV/AIDS almost never take care of themselves and take the appropriate medications they need to maintain their health. Therefore, these individuals arrive to rehab in very poor health and this will have to be handled as a priority while also addressing other crucial issues. Besides the obvious necessity to offer medical solutions during treatment, people who have HIV/AIDS must also deal with more deeply rooted issues which prompted their drug or alcohol use. Usually, people have conditions within their lives which are strictly environmental which may have triggered them to turn to alcohol or drugs, including oppressive situations within their lives or negative relationships. These are the concerns which rehabilitation counselors will target in HIV/AIDS rehabilitation services.
