LGBT stands for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are programs which address the particular needs of these clients. Those who are LGBT can feel alone, misunderstood, and seen as socially depraved. This is sometimes an extremely tough and painful existence, and leads many LGBT people to a life of drug use to alleviate these feelings. Someone who is LGBT might not feel comfortable inside a conventional rehabilitation program amongst folks who aren't experiencing the same problems they may be experiencing in their lives. A LGBT rehab offers an environment which can be free from judgment, where LGBT clients can be completely comfortable and safe revealing to their peers and rehab counselors issues which should be handled so that they can recover. Rehabilitation counselors in the LGBT rehab will help clients repair relationships with their family members, in the event that their family disagree with their sexual preference as is usually the case. This situation is certainly a frequent trigger for abusing drugs, and it is a good example of a thing that could be resolved in rehabilitation. LGBT clients often just want to be accepted in their lives, and rehabilitation will help them accept themselves and build confidence to enable them to lead a healthy life clear of drugs and alcohol.
