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 depraved. This can be a very hard and painful way to live, and leads many LGBT people to a life of substance abuse to numb these feelings. Somebody who is LGBT might not feel comfortable inside a traditional treatment program amongst individuals who aren't experiencing the same challenges they may be experiencing of their lives. A LGBT program offers an environment that is totally free of judgment, where LGBT clients can be totally safe and comfortable revealing to their peers and rehabilitation counselors issues which should be handled in order to get well. Treatment counselors within a LGBT rehab can help clients repair relationships with their family, in the case their family disagree with their sexual choice as is generally the case. This circumstance is an extremely common trigger for abusing drugs, and it is a good example of a thing that will be handled in rehab. LGBT clients often only want to be accepted within their lives, and rehabilitation will help them accept themselves and create confidence in order to lead a healthy life clear of alcohol and drugs.
