LGBT represents lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are programs which address the particular needs of these clients. Individuals who are LGBT can often feel alone, misunderstood, and seen as socially depraved. This may be a very difficult or painful way to live, and leads many LGBT individuals to a lifestyle of substance abuse to numb this pain. Somebody who is LGBT might not feel at ease in a conventional rehab facility amongst people who aren't experiencing the same challenges they may be experiencing of their lives. A LGBT program provides an environment that is totally free of judgment, where LGBT clients can feel totally safe and comfortable divulging to their peers and rehab counselors problems which should be resolved in order to get better. Rehabilitation counselors in the LGBT rehab will help clients fix relationships with their family members, in the case their family disagree with their sexual choice as is generally the case. This situation is definitely a common trigger for substance abuse, and it is a good example of something can be handled in rehabilitation. LGBT clients often only want to be accepted in their lives, and treatment will help them accept themselves and produce confidence to enable them to lead a healthy life free from drugs and alcohol.
