LGBT stands for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are programs which address the particular needs of these clients. Those who are LGBT can feel alone, misunderstood, and seen as socially depraved. This can be a very difficult and painful existence, and leads many LGBT people to a lifestyle of drug use to numb this pain. Someone who is LGBT might not feel comfortable inside a conventional rehabilitation facility amongst people who aren't experiencing the same challenges they are experiencing within their lives. A LGBT program provides an environment which can be free from judgment, where LGBT clients can be completely comfortable and safe divulging to their peers and rehabilitation counselors issues which have to be handled to be able to get better. Rehabilitation counselors in the LGBT rehab will help clients fix relationships with their loved ones, in the event that their loved ones disagree with their sexual preference as is generally the case. This situation is certainly a common trigger for drug use, and is also an example of something which will be resolved in rehabilitation. LGBT clients often just want to be accepted in their lives, and treatment will help them accept themselves and build confidence so that they can lead a wholesome life free from drugs and alcohol.
