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, misunderstood, and seen as socially unwanted. This may be an extremely tough and painful existence, and leads many LGBT individuals to a life of substance abuse to numb these feelings. Someone who is LGBT might not exactly feel safe inside a traditional rehabilitation facility amongst individuals who aren't experiencing the same problems they are experiencing in their lives. A LGBT program offers an environment which is free of judgment, where LGBT clients can be totally safe and comfortable divulging to their peers and treatment counselors issues which should be handled so that they can recover. Rehab counselors in the LGBT rehab can help clients fix relationships with their loved ones, in the case their family disagree with their sexual choice as is generally the case. This circumstance is an extremely frequent trigger for drug abuse, and is also an illustration of something will be resolved in rehabilitation. LGBT clients often only want to be accepted in their lives, and rehab will help them accept themselves and build confidence so that they can lead a healthy life free of drugs and alcohol.
