LGBT represents 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 seen as socially unwanted. This is sometimes an extremely tough and painful existence, and leads many LGBT individuals to a life of substance abuse to numb this pain. Someone who is LGBT may not feel comfortable within a traditional rehab facility amongst individuals who aren't experiencing the same challenges they may be experiencing of their lives. A LGBT program offers an environment which is totally free of judgment, where LGBT clients can be totally comfortable and safe revealing to their peers and treatment counselors issues which need to be handled to be able to get better. Rehabilitation counselors in the LGBT rehab will help clients fix relationships with their family, in case their family disagree with their sexual choice as is often the case. This situation is certainly a common trigger for substance abuse, and it is a good example of something can be handled in treatment. LGBT clients often just want to be accepted within their lives, and rehab will help them accept themselves and build confidence in order to lead a healthy life clear of drugs and alcohol.
