LGBT means 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 may be a very difficult or painful existence, and leads many LGBT individuals to a lifestyle of substance abuse to alleviate these feelings. Someone who is LGBT might not exactly feel relaxed within a traditional treatment center amongst folks who aren't experiencing the same problems they may be experiencing in their lives. A LGBT rehab offers an environment which is free from judgment, where LGBT clients can be totally safe and comfortable revealing to their peers and rehabilitation counselors issues which need to be handled to enable them to get well. Rehab counselors in a LGBT rehab will help clients fix relationships with their family, in the event that their family disagree with their sexual choice as is generally the case. This situation is definitely a frequent trigger for drug use, and it is a good example of an issue that will be resolved in rehabilitation. LGBT clients often would like to be accepted in their lives, and rehab will help them accept themselves and build confidence to be able to lead a wholesome life free from alcohol and drugs.
