LGBT is short for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are programs which address the particular needs of these clients. People who are LGBT can often feel alone, not understood, and considered socially depraved. This is often a very difficult or painful way to live, and leads many LGBT individuals to a life of drug abuse to numb these feelings. Someone who is LGBT might not exactly feel at ease in a traditional rehab program amongst individuals who aren't experiencing the same problems they may be experiencing within their lives. A LGBT program offers an environment that's free from judgment, where LGBT clients can feel completely safe and comfortable divulging to their peers and treatment counselors issues which need to be handled in order to recover. Rehabilitation counselors within a LGBT rehab can help clients fix relationships with their family members, in case their loved ones disagree with their sexual preference as is often the case. This situation is an extremely common trigger for drug use, and it is an example of an issue that would be resolved in rehabilitation. LGBT clients often simply want to be accepted in their lives, and rehabilitation will help them accept themselves and build confidence to be able to lead a healthy life free of alcohol and drugs.
