LGBT stands for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are programs which address the particular needs of these clients. Those who are LGBT can often feel alone, misunderstood, and seen as socially depraved. This is often a quite challenging and painful existence, and leads many LGBT individuals to a lifestyle of drug use to alleviate these feelings. Somebody who is LGBT may not feel comfortable inside a conventional rehabilitation program amongst individuals who aren't experiencing the same challenges they are experiencing in their lives. A LGBT rehab provides an environment that is free from judgment, where LGBT clients can feel completely safe and comfortable divulging to their peers and rehabilitation counselors issues which have to be resolved so that they can get well. Treatment counselors in the LGBT rehab can help clients fix relationships with their family, in the event their family disagree with their sexual choice as is usually the case. This situation is certainly a common trigger for drug abuse, and it is a good example of an issue that could be handled in rehabilitation. LGBT clients often simply want to be accepted in their lives, and treatment will help them accept themselves and create confidence in order to lead a healthy life without any alcohol and drugs.
