LGBT stands for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are programs which address the unique needs of these clients. Those who are LGBT can often feel alone, misunderstood, and viewed as socially depraved. This is often an extremely tough or painful existence, and leads many LGBT individuals to a life of drug use to numb these feelings. Someone who is LGBT might not exactly feel at ease within a traditional rehabilitation center amongst people who aren't experiencing the same problems they may be experiencing in their lives. A LGBT rehab offers an environment that is free from judgment, where LGBT clients can be completely comfortable and safe revealing to their peers and rehab counselors issues which have to be resolved in order to get well. Treatment counselors in a LGBT rehab will help clients mend 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 frequent trigger for substance abuse, which is an example of something will be resolved in rehabilitation. LGBT clients often would like to be accepted within their lives, and rehabilitation will help them accept themselves and produce confidence in order to lead a wholesome life free of drugs and alcohol.
