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 considered socially depraved. This may be a very hard and painful existence, and leads many LGBT individuals to a lifestyle of drug abuse to numb this pain. Someone that is LGBT may not feel relaxed within a traditional rehab program amongst individuals who aren't experiencing the same challenges they are experiencing within their lives. A LGBT rehab provides an environment which is totally free of judgment, where LGBT clients can feel completely comfortable and safe revealing to their peers and treatment counselors problems which have to be resolved to be able to get better. Rehab counselors in the LGBT rehab can help clients mend relationships with their loved ones, in case their family disagree with their sexual choice as is often the case. This situation is an extremely common trigger for substance abuse, and is a good example of something would be resolved in rehabilitation. LGBT clients often would like to be accepted in their lives, and rehab will help them accept themselves and build confidence in order to lead a healthy life clear of alcohol and drugs.
