LGBT means lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are programs which address the particular needs of these clients. Individuals who are LGBT can feel alone, misunderstood, and seen as socially depraved. This may be a quite challenging or painful existence, and leads many LGBT people to a lifestyle of drug use to alleviate these feelings. Someone who is LGBT might not feel comfortable within a conventional treatment center amongst people who aren't experiencing the same challenges they are experiencing of their lives. A LGBT rehab offers an environment which is free of judgment, where LGBT clients can be completely safe and comfortable revealing to their peers and rehabilitation counselors issues which should be handled so that they can recover. Treatment counselors in the LGBT rehab will help clients mend relationships with their family, in the event that their family disagree with their sexual preference as is often the case. This circumstance is definitely a frequent trigger for drug use, and is also an example of an issue that would be resolved in rehabilitation. LGBT clients often simply want to be accepted in their lives, and rehabilitation will help them accept themselves and build confidence in order to lead a wholesome life without any drugs and alcohol.
