LGBT represents 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 considered socially unwanted. This is often a quite challenging and painful way to live, and leads many LGBT individuals to a life of drug abuse to numb these feelings. Someone who is LGBT might not feel at ease in a traditional rehabilitation facility amongst people who aren't experiencing the same problems they are experiencing within their lives. A LGBT rehab provides an environment which is free of judgment, where LGBT clients can feel totally comfortable and safe revealing to their peers and rehab counselors issues which have to be resolved to enable them to get well. Rehabilitation counselors within a LGBT rehab will help clients mend relationships with their family, in case their family disagree with their sexual preference as is often the case. This situation is certainly a frequent trigger for drug abuse, which is a good example of something which will be resolved in rehabilitation. LGBT clients often just want to be accepted in their lives, and rehabilitation will help them accept themselves and build confidence to be able to lead a wholesome life without any drugs and alcohol.
