LGBT stands for 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 viewed as socially depraved. This is often an extremely tough or painful existence, and leads many LGBT individuals to a life of drug use to alleviate these feelings. Somebody who is LGBT may not feel comfortable within a conventional rehabilitation program amongst individuals who aren't experiencing the same challenges they are experiencing of their lives. A LGBT rehab provides an environment which can be 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 in order to get well. Treatment counselors within a LGBT rehab can help clients mend relationships with their loved ones, in the case their loved ones disagree with their sexual choice as is often the case. This circumstance is an extremely frequent trigger for drug abuse, and it is an illustration of something which can be handled in rehabilitation. LGBT clients often just want to be accepted within their lives, and rehab will help them accept themselves and build confidence in order to lead a healthy life without any drugs and alcohol.
