LGBT means lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are programs which address the particular needs of these clients. People who are LGBT can feel alone, not understood, and considered socially depraved. This is sometimes an extremely tough and painful way to live, and leads many LGBT people to a lifestyle of drug abuse to alleviate this pain. Somebody who is LGBT might not feel at ease in a conventional treatment center amongst people who aren't experiencing the same problems they may be experiencing in their lives. A LGBT program offers an environment which can be free from judgment, where LGBT clients can feel totally comfortable and safe divulging to their peers and treatment counselors issues which need to be resolved to enable them to recover. Rehab counselors in a LGBT rehab can help clients repair relationships with their family, in the event their family disagree with their sexual choice as is often the case. This situation is an extremely common trigger for substance abuse, and is also a good example of something would be handled in treatment. LGBT clients often would like to be accepted in their lives, and rehabilitation will help them accept themselves and build confidence in order to lead a healthy life clear of alcohol and drugs.
