LGBT stands for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are programs which address the unique needs of these clients. People who are LGBT can often feel alone, not understood, and considered socially unwanted. This may be a very hard and painful way to live, and leads many LGBT individuals to a life of drug use to alleviate these feelings. Somebody who is LGBT might not feel safe in a conventional rehab facility amongst people who aren't experiencing the same challenges they may be experiencing of their lives. A LGBT program provides an environment that's totally free of judgment, where LGBT clients can be totally safe and comfortable divulging to their peers and rehab counselors issues which must be handled so that they can recover. Rehabilitation counselors within a LGBT rehab can help clients mend relationships with their loved ones, in the event their loved ones disagree with their sexual choice as is usually the case. This situation is an extremely common trigger for abusing drugs, and is an example of an issue that would be handled in rehab. LGBT clients often simply want to be accepted within 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.
