LGBT means lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are programs which address the particular needs of these clients. Those who are LGBT can often feel alone, misunderstood, and viewed as socially depraved. This is sometimes a quite challenging or painful way to live, and leads many LGBT individuals to a lifestyle of drug abuse to alleviate this pain. Somebody who is LGBT might not feel comfortable within a traditional treatment facility amongst people who aren't experiencing the same challenges they may be experiencing within their lives. A LGBT program provides an environment that is totally free of judgment, where LGBT clients can feel totally comfortable and safe divulging to their peers and treatment counselors problems which must be resolved to enable them to get well. Treatment counselors within a LGBT rehab can help clients mend relationships with their family, in the event that their loved ones disagree with their sexual preference as is generally the case. This circumstance is an extremely common trigger for drug use, and it is an example of an issue that can be resolved in rehab. LGBT clients often just want to be accepted in their lives, and rehab will help them accept themselves and create confidence to be able to lead a healthy life free from drugs and alcohol.
