LGBT stands for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are programs which address the unique needs of these clients. Those who are LGBT can feel alone, misunderstood, and viewed as socially depraved. This may be a very difficult and painful existence, and leads many LGBT individuals to a life of drug abuse to numb this pain. Someone that is LGBT may not feel safe inside a conventional rehabilitation facility amongst people who aren't experiencing the same challenges they are experiencing within their lives. A LGBT rehab offers an environment that is free from judgment, where LGBT clients can be totally comfortable and safe divulging to their peers and rehabilitation counselors problems which should be resolved so that they can get better. Rehabilitation counselors in the LGBT rehab will help clients repair relationships with their family, in the event their family disagree with their sexual choice as is often the case. This situation is an extremely common trigger for abusing drugs, and is also an illustration of something which can be resolved in rehab. LGBT clients often simply want to be accepted within their lives, and rehabilitation will help them accept themselves and build confidence to enable them to lead a healthy life without any drugs and alcohol.
