LGBT stands for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are programs which address the unique needs of these clients. Individuals who are LGBT can often feel alone, not understood, and viewed as socially unwanted. This is sometimes a very difficult and painful way to live, and leads many LGBT individuals to a life of drug abuse to alleviate these feelings. Someone who is LGBT might not exactly feel safe within a traditional rehabilitation facility amongst people who aren't experiencing the same challenges they may be experiencing in their lives. A LGBT program provides an environment that's totally free of judgment, where LGBT clients can feel completely safe and comfortable divulging to their peers and rehab counselors problems which have to be handled so that they can recover. Rehab 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 generally the case. This circumstance is an extremely frequent trigger for abusing drugs, which is a good example of something can be resolved in rehabilitation. LGBT clients often only want to be accepted within their lives, and rehab will help them accept themselves and create confidence to enable them to lead a healthy life clear of drugs and alcohol.
