LGBT means lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are programs which address the unique needs of these clients. Those who are LGBT can often feel alone, misunderstood, and seen as socially unwanted. This may be a very difficult or painful existence, and leads many LGBT people to a life of drug use to alleviate this pain. Someone that is LGBT might not feel relaxed inside a conventional rehab facility amongst people who aren't experiencing the same problems they are experiencing in their lives. A LGBT program offers an environment that is free of judgment, where LGBT clients can be completely safe and comfortable revealing to their peers and treatment counselors issues which must be handled in order to get better. Rehabilitation counselors within a LGBT rehab will help clients fix relationships with their family, in the case their loved ones disagree with their sexual choice as is often the case. This circumstance is certainly a frequent trigger for drug abuse, and is an example of something which will be handled in rehabilitation. LGBT clients often just want to be accepted in their lives, and rehabilitation will help them accept themselves and build confidence to be able to lead a wholesome life without any alcohol and drugs.
