LGBT stands for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are programs which address the particular needs of these clients. Individuals who are LGBT can feel alone, not understood, and seen as socially unwanted. This is sometimes an extremely tough and painful way to live, and leads many LGBT people to a life of drug abuse to alleviate these feelings. Someone who is LGBT might not feel at ease inside a traditional treatment program amongst folks who aren't experiencing the same problems they are experiencing of their lives. A LGBT rehab provides an environment which is free from judgment, where LGBT clients can be completely safe and comfortable divulging to their peers and treatment counselors issues which need to be resolved so that they can get well. Rehab counselors in a LGBT rehab will help clients fix relationships with their family, in the case their family disagree with their sexual preference as is generally the case. This situation is certainly a common trigger for drug abuse, and is a good example of a thing that will be resolved in rehab. LGBT clients often just want to be accepted within their lives, and rehab will help them accept themselves and build confidence to enable them to lead a healthy life free from drugs and alcohol.
