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 seen as socially depraved. This may be a very difficult and painful way to live, and leads many LGBT people to a life of drug use to alleviate this pain. Somebody that is LGBT might not feel at ease inside a traditional rehab 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 free from judgment, where LGBT clients can be completely comfortable and safe revealing to their peers and treatment counselors problems which have to be resolved in order to recover. Rehab counselors within a LGBT rehab can help clients mend relationships with their family members, in the event their loved ones disagree with their sexual choice as is usually the case. This situation is definitely a frequent trigger for abusing drugs, which is an example of something which will be resolved in rehab. LGBT clients often only 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 without any alcohol and drugs.
