LGBT means lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are programs which address the particular needs of these clients. People who are LGBT can often feel alone, misunderstood, and viewed as socially depraved. This is sometimes an extremely tough and painful existence, and leads many LGBT individuals to a lifestyle of drug abuse to numb these feelings. Someone who is LGBT may not feel comfortable inside a conventional rehab facility amongst individuals who aren't experiencing the same problems they are experiencing in their lives. A LGBT rehab offers an environment which is totally free of judgment, where LGBT clients can feel completely comfortable and safe revealing to their peers and rehabilitation counselors issues which have to be handled so that they can recover. Treatment counselors in the LGBT rehab can help clients mend relationships with their family members, in the case their family disagree with their sexual choice as is generally the case. This circumstance is an extremely frequent trigger for abusing drugs, which is a good example of something which would be handled in rehab. LGBT clients often would like to be accepted within their lives, and rehabilitation will help them accept themselves and create confidence so that they can lead a wholesome life without any drugs and alcohol.
