LGBT represents lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are programs which address the particular needs of these clients. Individuals who are LGBT can feel alone, misunderstood, and considered socially unwanted. This is often an extremely tough and painful existence, and leads many LGBT people to a lifestyle of substance abuse to alleviate these feelings. Someone who is LGBT might not feel at ease within a traditional rehab center amongst people who aren't experiencing the same problems they may be experiencing in their lives. A LGBT program provides an environment which can be free of judgment, where LGBT clients can be totally safe and comfortable revealing to their peers and rehabilitation counselors problems which should be handled to be able to get well. Rehab counselors within a LGBT rehab will help clients repair relationships with their loved ones, in the event their loved ones disagree with their sexual choice as is often the case. This situation is definitely a frequent trigger for substance abuse, which is a good example of something which would be handled in rehabilitation. LGBT clients often just want to be accepted within their lives, and rehab will help them accept themselves and build confidence in order to lead a healthy life free of alcohol and drugs.
