LGBT means 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 viewed as socially depraved. This is often a very hard or painful existence, and leads many LGBT people to a lifestyle of drug abuse to alleviate these feelings. Somebody who is LGBT might not exactly feel at ease in a traditional rehab facility amongst people who aren't experiencing the same challenges they may be experiencing within their lives. A LGBT rehab provides an environment which can be free from judgment, where LGBT clients can be completely comfortable and safe revealing to their peers and rehabilitation counselors problems which have to be resolved in order to get better. Rehab counselors in a LGBT rehab will help clients fix relationships with their loved ones, in the event their loved ones disagree with their sexual preference as is generally the case. This situation is an extremely frequent trigger for drug use, which is an example of something which can be handled in treatment. LGBT clients often just want to be accepted in their lives, and treatment will help them accept themselves and build confidence so that they can lead a wholesome life free from drugs and alcohol.
