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 viewed as socially depraved. This is often a quite challenging or painful existence, and leads many LGBT individuals to a life of drug use to numb this pain. Someone who is LGBT might not feel comfortable in a traditional rehab center amongst individuals who aren't experiencing the same problems they may be experiencing within their lives. A LGBT rehab provides an environment which can be totally free of judgment, where LGBT clients can feel completely safe and comfortable revealing to their peers and rehabilitation counselors issues which have to be handled in order to recover. Rehab counselors within a LGBT rehab can help clients repair relationships with their family, in the case their family disagree with their sexual choice as is generally the case. This situation is definitely a frequent trigger for drug abuse, and is an example of a thing that would be resolved in treatment. LGBT clients often would like to be accepted within their lives, and rehabilitation will help them accept themselves and create confidence to be able to lead a wholesome life without any drugs and alcohol.
