LGBT stands for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are programs which address the particular needs of these clients. Individuals who are LGBT can feel alone, not understood, and seen as socially depraved. This is sometimes a very hard and painful existence, and leads many LGBT people to a life of substance abuse to numb these feelings. Somebody who is LGBT might not feel comfortable inside a conventional rehab program amongst individuals who aren't experiencing the same problems they may be experiencing in their lives. A LGBT program offers an environment which is totally free of judgment, where LGBT clients can feel completely safe and comfortable revealing to their peers and rehab counselors problems which have to be resolved in order to recover. Rehab counselors in the LGBT rehab can help clients fix relationships with their family members, in the event their family disagree with their sexual choice as is often the case. This situation is an extremely common trigger for drug use, which is an example of something could be resolved in rehab. LGBT clients often would like to be accepted in their lives, and rehab will help them accept themselves and create confidence in order to lead a healthy life without any drugs and alcohol.
