LGBT means lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are programs which address the unique needs of these clients. People who are LGBT can feel alone, misunderstood, and viewed as socially unwanted. This is sometimes a quite challenging and painful existence, and leads many LGBT people to a life of drug use to alleviate this pain. Someone who is LGBT might not exactly feel relaxed within a conventional rehab program amongst people who aren't experiencing the same challenges they may be experiencing in their lives. A LGBT rehab provides an environment that is free from judgment, where LGBT clients can be totally comfortable and safe revealing to their peers and rehabilitation counselors issues which have to be resolved so that they can recover. Rehabilitation counselors in a LGBT rehab will help clients mend relationships with their family, in the case their family disagree with their sexual preference as is usually the case. This circumstance is certainly a frequent trigger for drug use, and is also an example of something would be resolved in rehabilitation. LGBT clients often just want to be accepted within their lives, and rehabilitation will help them accept themselves and produce confidence so that they can lead a healthy life free of drugs and alcohol.
