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 seen as socially unwanted. This is sometimes an extremely tough or painful existence, and leads many LGBT individuals to a lifestyle of drug use to numb this pain. Someone who is LGBT might not exactly feel at ease inside a traditional treatment program amongst folks who aren't experiencing the same challenges they may be experiencing of their lives. A LGBT rehab provides an environment which is totally free of judgment, where LGBT clients can feel totally comfortable and safe divulging to their peers and rehab counselors issues which need to be resolved in order to recover. Rehab counselors in the LGBT rehab will help clients mend relationships with their loved ones, in case their family disagree with their sexual preference as is usually the case. This circumstance is an extremely common trigger for substance abuse, and is also an example of something can be resolved in rehab. LGBT clients often just want to be accepted within their lives, and rehab will help them accept themselves and produce confidence in order to lead a healthy life free of drugs and alcohol.
