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 viewed as socially depraved. This is sometimes a very difficult or painful way to live, and leads many LGBT people to a life of drug abuse to alleviate these feelings. Someone who is LGBT may not feel comfortable in a conventional rehab program amongst people who aren't experiencing the same problems they are experiencing within their lives. A LGBT rehab offers an environment which can be totally free of judgment, where LGBT clients can be completely safe and comfortable revealing to their peers and treatment counselors problems which have to be resolved so that they can get well. Rehab counselors within a LGBT rehab will help clients fix relationships with their family, in the event their family disagree with their sexual preference as is usually the case. This situation is certainly a common trigger for abusing drugs, and it is an illustration of a thing that can be resolved in treatment. LGBT clients often simply want to be accepted in their lives, and rehabilitation will help them accept themselves and build confidence in order to lead a wholesome life free of alcohol and drugs.
