LGBT represents lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are programs which address the particular needs of these clients. Individuals who are LGBT can often feel alone, not understood, and considered socially unwanted. This can be a very difficult or painful existence, and leads many LGBT people to a life of drug use to numb these feelings. Someone who is LGBT may not feel relaxed within a conventional rehabilitation program amongst people who aren't experiencing the same problems they are experiencing in their lives. A LGBT program offers an environment which can be totally free of judgment, where LGBT clients can be totally comfortable and safe revealing to their peers and rehab counselors problems which need to be resolved to be able to recover. Rehab counselors in the LGBT rehab can help clients fix relationships with their family, in the event that their family disagree with their sexual preference as is often the case. This circumstance is definitely a common trigger for substance abuse, which is an example of something which would be handled in rehab. 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 healthy life without any drugs and alcohol.
