LGBT represents 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 viewed as socially depraved. This is sometimes an extremely tough or painful existence, and leads many LGBT people to a lifestyle of drug abuse to numb this pain. Someone who is LGBT may not feel comfortable within a conventional rehab facility amongst individuals who aren't experiencing the same challenges they may be experiencing within their lives. A LGBT rehab provides an environment that is totally free of judgment, where LGBT clients can feel totally comfortable and safe divulging to their peers and treatment counselors problems which should be resolved to enable them to recover. Rehabilitation counselors within a LGBT rehab will help clients repair relationships with their family members, in the event that their loved ones disagree with their sexual choice as is usually the case. This situation is an extremely frequent trigger for substance abuse, and it is a good example of a thing that will be handled in rehabilitation. LGBT clients often only want to be accepted within their lives, and rehabilitation will help them accept themselves and build confidence to enable them to lead a healthy life free from drugs and alcohol.
