LGBT is short for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are programs which address the particular needs of these clients. Individuals who are LGBT can often feel alone, misunderstood, and considered socially unwanted. This can be a quite challenging and painful existence, and leads many LGBT people to a lifestyle of drug abuse to alleviate these feelings. Someone who is LGBT might not feel comfortable within a conventional rehab facility amongst folks who aren't experiencing the same problems they are experiencing in their lives. A LGBT program provides an environment which is free of judgment, where LGBT clients can be completely comfortable and safe revealing to their peers and rehabilitation counselors problems which need to be resolved to be able to recover. Treatment counselors in the LGBT rehab will help clients fix relationships with their family, in the case their family disagree with their sexual preference as is generally the case. This situation is definitely a frequent trigger for substance abuse, and is an example of something which would be resolved in treatment. LGBT clients often just want to be accepted in their lives, and rehab will help them accept themselves and produce confidence so that they can lead a wholesome life clear of drugs and alcohol.
