LGBT represents lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are programs which address the particular needs of these clients. People who are LGBT can feel alone, misunderstood, and viewed as socially depraved. This is often a very difficult or painful existence, and leads many LGBT people to a lifestyle of drug abuse to numb these feelings. Someone who is LGBT might not feel comfortable in a traditional treatment facility amongst individuals who aren't experiencing the same problems they may be experiencing in their lives. A LGBT program provides an environment that's free from judgment, where LGBT clients can be totally safe and comfortable revealing to their peers and treatment counselors problems which need to be resolved to be able to get better. Rehabilitation counselors in a LGBT rehab can help clients mend relationships with their family, in case their loved ones disagree with their sexual choice as is often the case. This situation is certainly a frequent trigger for abusing drugs, and is an example of an issue that will be handled in rehabilitation. LGBT clients often simply 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 of alcohol and drugs.
