LGBT represents lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are programs which address the particular needs of these clients. Those who are LGBT can feel alone, not understood, and seen as socially depraved. This is often a very difficult or painful existence, and leads many LGBT people to a lifestyle of drug use to numb this pain. Someone who is LGBT may not feel comfortable within a traditional rehabilitation facility amongst folks who aren't experiencing the same problems they are experiencing within their lives. A LGBT rehab provides an environment which is free from judgment, where LGBT clients can be completely safe and comfortable divulging to their peers and treatment counselors issues which must be resolved in order to recover. Rehabilitation counselors in a LGBT rehab will help clients mend relationships with their loved ones, in the event that their loved ones disagree with their sexual preference as is generally the case. This circumstance is an extremely frequent trigger for substance abuse, and it is a good example of something which can be resolved in rehab. LGBT clients often just want to be accepted within their lives, and rehab will help them accept themselves and create confidence so that they can lead a healthy life clear of alcohol and drugs.
