LGBT stands for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are programs which address the particular needs of these clients. People who are LGBT can feel alone, not understood, and seen as socially unwanted. This is often an extremely tough and painful existence, and leads many LGBT people to a life of drug use to numb this pain. Someone who is LGBT may not feel at ease within a conventional rehabilitation facility amongst people who aren't experiencing the same problems they may be experiencing of their lives. A LGBT program offers an environment that's free of judgment, where LGBT clients can be totally comfortable and safe divulging to their peers and rehab counselors problems which must be resolved so that they can get well. Treatment counselors within a LGBT rehab will help clients fix relationships with their family members, in case their family disagree with their sexual preference as is generally the case. This circumstance is an extremely common trigger for drug use, which is an example of a thing that could be handled 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 alcohol and drugs.
