LGBT is short for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are programs which address the particular needs of these clients. People who are LGBT can feel alone, misunderstood, and considered socially depraved. This can be a quite challenging or painful existence, and leads many LGBT people to a lifestyle of drug abuse to alleviate these feelings. Somebody who is LGBT may not feel relaxed within a traditional rehab center amongst people who aren't experiencing the same problems they are experiencing in their lives. A LGBT rehab provides an environment which can be totally free of judgment, where LGBT clients can feel totally comfortable and safe revealing to their peers and rehab counselors problems which have to be handled to be able to get better. Rehab counselors in a LGBT rehab can help clients repair relationships with their family members, in the event that their family disagree with their sexual choice as is usually the case. This situation is an extremely frequent trigger for substance abuse, and it is an illustration of something could be resolved in rehab. LGBT clients often simply want to be accepted in their lives, and treatment will help them accept themselves and create confidence so that they can lead a healthy life without any drugs and alcohol.
