LGBT is short for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are programs which address the particular needs of these clients. Individuals who are LGBT can often feel alone, misunderstood, and viewed as socially unwanted. This is sometimes an extremely tough or painful way to live, and leads many LGBT individuals to a lifestyle of drug use to numb this pain. Somebody who is LGBT may not feel safe within a conventional rehab center amongst people who aren't experiencing the same problems they are experiencing in their lives. A LGBT program offers an environment that is totally free of judgment, where LGBT clients can feel completely comfortable and safe revealing to their peers and rehabilitation counselors problems which have to be handled to be able to get better. Treatment counselors in the LGBT rehab can help clients repair 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 is an example of something which can be resolved in rehab. LGBT clients often only want to be accepted in their lives, and rehabilitation will help them accept themselves and build confidence to enable them to lead a wholesome life free from alcohol and drugs.
