LGBT stands for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are programs which address the unique needs of these clients. People who are LGBT can feel alone, not understood, and considered socially unwanted. This may be a very hard and painful way to live, and leads many LGBT people to a life of drug use to numb this pain. Somebody that is LGBT might not feel relaxed inside a conventional rehab facility amongst people who aren't experiencing the same problems they are experiencing in their lives. A LGBT program provides an environment which is free from judgment, where LGBT clients can feel totally safe and comfortable revealing to their peers and treatment counselors problems which must be handled in order to get better. Rehab counselors in a LGBT rehab will help clients fix relationships with their loved ones, in the case their loved ones disagree with their sexual choice as is generally the case. This situation is an extremely frequent trigger for drug use, which is an illustration of an issue that could be handled in rehabilitation. LGBT clients often simply want to be accepted in their lives, and rehabilitation will help them accept themselves and build confidence to be able to lead a healthy life clear of drugs and alcohol.
