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, not understood, and seen as socially unwanted. This may be a very hard and painful existence, and leads many LGBT people to a life of drug abuse to numb these feelings. Someone who is LGBT might not exactly feel safe within a conventional rehab program amongst folks who aren't experiencing the same problems they may be experiencing within their lives. A LGBT program provides an environment that is totally free of judgment, where LGBT clients can be completely safe and comfortable revealing to their peers and rehab counselors problems which have to be handled to be able to get better. Treatment counselors in a LGBT rehab will help clients repair relationships with their family members, in case their family disagree with their sexual preference as is generally the case. This situation is an extremely common trigger for drug use, and is an example of something which could be resolved in rehabilitation. LGBT clients often just want to be accepted in their lives, and rehab will help them accept themselves and produce confidence to enable them to lead a wholesome life free from alcohol and drugs.
