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, not understood, and considered socially unwanted. This is sometimes a very difficult and painful way to live, and leads many LGBT people to a life of drug abuse to alleviate this pain. Someone who is LGBT might not feel comfortable within a conventional treatment facility amongst people who aren't experiencing the same problems they may be experiencing in their lives. A LGBT program provides an environment that is free of judgment, where LGBT clients can feel totally safe and comfortable revealing to their peers and rehabilitation counselors issues which should be resolved to enable them to get better. Rehabilitation counselors in a LGBT rehab can help clients fix relationships with their family, in the case their loved ones disagree with their sexual preference as is generally the case. This circumstance is an extremely common trigger for drug use, and is an example of an issue that would be resolved in rehabilitation. LGBT clients often simply want to be accepted in their lives, and rehab will help them accept themselves and build confidence in order to lead a healthy life free of drugs and alcohol.
