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, misunderstood, and considered socially depraved. This is often an extremely tough or painful existence, and leads many LGBT individuals to a lifestyle of drug use to alleviate these feelings. Somebody who is LGBT may not feel comfortable in a conventional rehab program amongst folks who aren't experiencing the same problems they may be experiencing of their lives. A LGBT program provides an environment which can be totally free of judgment, where LGBT clients can be totally comfortable and safe revealing to their peers and rehabilitation counselors issues which should be resolved to be able to get well. Rehab counselors in a LGBT rehab can help clients fix relationships with their family members, in the event their loved ones disagree with their sexual preference as is generally the case. This situation is an extremely common trigger for drug use, and is an example of something which can be handled in rehabilitation. 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 healthy life free from alcohol and drugs.
