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, not understood, and viewed as socially unwanted. This is often a quite challenging and painful way to live, and leads many LGBT people to a life of drug abuse to alleviate these feelings. Someone that is LGBT may not feel comfortable in a traditional rehab facility amongst individuals who aren't experiencing the same challenges they may be experiencing in their lives. A LGBT rehab provides an environment which can be free of judgment, where LGBT clients can feel completely safe and comfortable divulging to their peers and rehabilitation counselors issues which need to be resolved so that they can get better. Rehab counselors in a LGBT rehab can help clients mend relationships with their family, in the case their family disagree with their sexual choice as is usually the case. This situation is definitely a common trigger for drug abuse, and is also a good example of an issue that can be resolved in rehab. LGBT clients often simply want to be accepted within their lives, and treatment will help them accept themselves and create confidence so that they can lead a wholesome life without any drugs and alcohol.
