LGBT represents lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are programs which address the unique needs of these clients. Individuals who are LGBT can feel alone, misunderstood, and viewed as socially unwanted. This is often a very difficult and painful way to live, and leads many LGBT individuals to a lifestyle of drug abuse to alleviate these feelings. Someone who is LGBT might not feel at ease within a conventional rehabilitation facility amongst individuals who aren't experiencing the same problems they are experiencing in their lives. A LGBT rehab provides an environment which can be free of judgment, where LGBT clients can feel completely comfortable and safe revealing to their peers and rehab counselors problems which have to be handled to be able to get well. Rehab counselors within a LGBT rehab can help clients repair relationships with their loved ones, in the case their loved ones disagree with their sexual preference as is often the case. This circumstance is an extremely common trigger for abusing drugs, and is an example of an issue that will be handled in rehabilitation. LGBT clients often only want to be accepted within their lives, and rehab will help them accept themselves and create confidence to be able to lead a healthy life free from drugs and alcohol.
