LGBT means lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are programs which address the unique needs of these clients. People who are LGBT can feel alone, misunderstood, and seen as socially depraved. This is often a very hard or painful way to live, and leads many LGBT individuals to a life of drug abuse to numb these feelings. Somebody who is LGBT may not feel safe in a conventional rehab program amongst folks who aren't experiencing the same challenges they are experiencing within their lives. A LGBT rehab offers an environment which can be free of judgment, where LGBT clients can feel completely comfortable and safe divulging to their peers and rehabilitation counselors problems which must be handled in order to get well. Rehab counselors in a LGBT rehab can help clients mend relationships with their loved ones, in case their loved ones disagree with their sexual choice as is generally the case. This situation is definitely a frequent trigger for substance abuse, and it is an example of something which will be resolved in treatment. LGBT clients often only want to be accepted in their lives, and rehabilitation will help them accept themselves and create confidence so that they can lead a healthy life without any alcohol and drugs.
