LGBT means lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are programs which address the particular needs of these clients. Those who are LGBT can feel alone, misunderstood, and viewed as socially depraved. This is often a very difficult or painful existence, and leads many LGBT individuals to a life of substance abuse to alleviate this pain. Someone who is LGBT might not exactly feel comfortable in a conventional rehab program amongst people who aren't experiencing the same challenges they may be experiencing within their lives. A LGBT program provides an environment that's free of judgment, where LGBT clients can feel completely safe and comfortable divulging to their peers and rehabilitation counselors problems which must be resolved to enable them to recover. Treatment counselors in the LGBT rehab can help clients repair relationships with their loved ones, in the event their family disagree with their sexual choice as is usually the case. This circumstance is definitely a common trigger for drug use, and it is a good example of an issue that will be resolved in rehabilitation. LGBT clients often just want to be accepted in their lives, and rehab will help them accept themselves and build confidence to be able to lead a wholesome life free of drugs and alcohol.
