LGBT represents lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are programs which address the unique needs of these clients. People who are LGBT can often feel alone, not understood, and seen as socially unwanted. This is sometimes a quite challenging and painful existence, and leads many LGBT people to a life of substance abuse to numb these feelings. Someone who is LGBT might not exactly feel safe in a conventional rehab program amongst individuals who aren't experiencing the same problems they are experiencing of their lives. A LGBT facility provides an environment that is free of judgment, where LGBT clients can be completely comfortable and safe revealing to their peers and rehabilitation counselors issues which have to be handled in order to get better. Rehabilitation counselors within a LGBT rehab can help clients repair relationships with their family members, in the event their loved ones disagree with their sexual choice as is usually the case. This situation is certainly a frequent trigger for substance abuse, which is an illustration of something would be handled in treatment. LGBT clients often simply want to be accepted in their lives, and rehab will help them accept themselves and build confidence to be able to lead a healthy life free of drugs and alcohol.
