LGBT stands for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are programs which address the unique needs of these clients. Those who are LGBT can often feel alone, not understood, and considered socially depraved. This is often a very hard and painful way to live, and leads many LGBT people to a life of drug abuse to alleviate these feelings. Someone who is LGBT might not feel comfortable in a traditional treatment facility amongst people who aren't experiencing the same challenges they may be experiencing within their lives. A LGBT rehab provides an environment which is free of judgment, where LGBT clients can feel totally comfortable and safe divulging to their peers and treatment counselors issues which have to be handled to enable them to recover. Rehabilitation counselors in a LGBT rehab can help clients mend relationships with their loved ones, in the event that their loved ones disagree with their sexual preference as is often the case. This circumstance is definitely a common trigger for drug use, and is a good example of something can be resolved in treatment. LGBT clients often would like to be accepted in their lives, and rehabilitation will help them accept themselves and build confidence to enable them to lead a wholesome life free of alcohol and drugs.
