LGBT represents lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are programs which address the unique needs of these clients. Individuals who are LGBT can often feel alone, misunderstood, and considered socially unwanted. This may be a very hard and painful existence, and leads many LGBT individuals to a life of drug abuse to numb these feelings. Somebody who is LGBT may not feel at ease in a traditional rehabilitation facility amongst people who aren't experiencing the same problems they may be experiencing within their lives. A LGBT program provides an environment that is free from judgment, where LGBT clients can feel totally comfortable and safe divulging to their peers and rehab counselors problems which must be resolved to enable them to recover. Treatment counselors within a LGBT rehab can help clients mend relationships with their family members, in case their loved ones disagree with their sexual choice as is generally the case. This circumstance is certainly a common trigger for abusing drugs, and it is an example of something which will be resolved in rehab. LGBT clients often just want to be accepted in their lives, and treatment will help them accept themselves and build confidence to be able to lead a healthy life free from alcohol and drugs.
