LGBT represents lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are programs which address the particular needs of these clients. People who are LGBT can feel alone, not understood, and considered socially depraved. This may be an extremely tough and painful way to live, and leads many LGBT individuals to a lifestyle of substance abuse to alleviate this pain. Someone who is LGBT may not feel comfortable within a traditional rehab program amongst people who aren't experiencing the same challenges they are experiencing in their lives. A LGBT rehab offers an environment that's free from judgment, where LGBT clients can be completely safe and comfortable divulging to their peers and rehabilitation counselors issues which have to be resolved so that they can get better. Rehab counselors in a LGBT rehab will help clients fix relationships with their loved ones, in the event their family disagree with their sexual preference as is often the case. This circumstance is an extremely common trigger for abusing drugs, and it is a good example of an issue that can be resolved in rehab. LGBT clients often only want to be accepted within their lives, and treatment will help them accept themselves and produce confidence so that they can lead a healthy life clear of alcohol and drugs.
