LGBT stands for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are programs which address the unique needs of these clients. Those who are LGBT can feel alone, not understood, and seen as socially unwanted. This is sometimes a very hard or painful way to live, and leads many LGBT individuals to a lifestyle of substance abuse to alleviate this pain. Someone who is LGBT might not exactly feel safe in a traditional rehabilitation center amongst people who aren't experiencing the same challenges they may be experiencing of their lives. A LGBT rehab offers an environment which is free from judgment, where LGBT clients can be completely safe and comfortable divulging to their peers and rehabilitation counselors problems which must be resolved so that they can recover. Rehabilitation counselors in the LGBT rehab can help clients fix relationships with their family, in the event that their family disagree with their sexual choice as is usually the case. This circumstance is an extremely frequent trigger for drug use, which is an illustration of something which could be resolved in treatment. LGBT clients often just want to be accepted in their lives, and rehabilitation will help them accept themselves and produce confidence in order to lead a healthy life without any alcohol and drugs.
