LGBT stands for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are programs which address the unique needs of these clients. People who are LGBT can feel alone, not understood, and seen as socially depraved. This is sometimes an extremely tough or painful existence, and leads many LGBT individuals to a life of drug use to numb these feelings. Somebody who is LGBT may not feel comfortable in a traditional rehab program amongst folks who aren't experiencing the same problems they may be experiencing within their lives. A LGBT program offers an environment that is free of judgment, where LGBT clients can be completely comfortable and safe revealing to their peers and rehabilitation counselors issues which should be handled to enable them to get better. Rehab counselors in a LGBT rehab can help clients repair relationships with their family, in the event that their family disagree with their sexual choice as is generally the case. This circumstance is definitely a common trigger for abusing drugs, and it is a good example of a thing that can be resolved in rehabilitation. 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 wholesome life clear of alcohol and drugs.
