LGBT means 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 may be an extremely tough and painful existence, and leads many LGBT individuals to a life of drug abuse to alleviate these feelings. Someone who is LGBT might not feel relaxed within a traditional treatment program amongst folks who aren't experiencing the same challenges they are experiencing of their lives. A LGBT program provides an environment which can be totally free of judgment, where LGBT clients can feel completely comfortable and safe revealing to their peers and rehab counselors issues which have to be resolved to be able to recover. Rehab counselors in a LGBT rehab will help clients repair relationships with their loved ones, in the event that their loved ones disagree with their sexual choice as is generally the case. This circumstance is an extremely common trigger for abusing drugs, which is an example of an issue that would be resolved in rehabilitation. LGBT clients often simply want to be accepted within their lives, and rehab will help them accept themselves and build confidence to be able to lead a wholesome life free from drugs and alcohol.
