LGBT stands for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are programs which address the particular needs of these clients. Those who are LGBT can often feel alone, misunderstood, and seen as socially unwanted. This may be a quite challenging and painful existence, and leads many LGBT people to a lifestyle of drug abuse to numb these feelings. Somebody who is LGBT may not feel safe in a conventional treatment facility amongst people who aren't experiencing the same problems they may be experiencing of their lives. A LGBT program offers an environment that is totally free of judgment, where LGBT clients can be completely comfortable and safe revealing to their peers and treatment counselors issues which should be resolved to be able to get well. Rehab counselors in a LGBT rehab can help clients mend relationships with their loved ones, in the case their loved ones disagree with their sexual preference as is generally the case. This situation is definitely a common trigger for abusing drugs, and is also an illustration of something which can be handled in rehab. LGBT clients often only want to be accepted within their lives, and treatment will help them accept themselves and build confidence to be able to lead a healthy life without any drugs and alcohol.
