LGBT stands 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, misunderstood, and considered socially depraved. This is sometimes an extremely tough or painful existence, and leads many LGBT people to a life of drug abuse to alleviate these feelings. Someone who is LGBT may not feel comfortable within a conventional treatment center amongst people who aren't experiencing the same challenges they may be experiencing in their lives. A LGBT program offers an environment that's free from judgment, where LGBT clients can be completely safe and comfortable divulging to their peers and rehabilitation counselors problems which should be handled in order to get better. Rehabilitation counselors in a LGBT rehab will help clients repair relationships with their family, in case their family disagree with their sexual choice as is often the case. This situation is definitely a frequent trigger for drug abuse, which is an example of something which can be resolved in rehabilitation. LGBT clients often only want to be accepted within their lives, and treatment will help them accept themselves and build confidence so that they can lead a healthy life clear of alcohol and drugs.
