LGBT stands for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are programs which address the unique needs of these clients. People who are LGBT can often feel alone, misunderstood, and seen as socially unwanted. This may be an extremely tough or painful existence, and leads many LGBT people to a lifestyle of drug abuse to numb this pain. Somebody who is LGBT may not feel relaxed in a conventional rehabilitation facility amongst people who aren't experiencing the same problems they may be experiencing in their lives. A LGBT facility offers an environment which can be free of judgment, where LGBT clients can feel totally safe and comfortable revealing to their peers and treatment counselors issues which must be resolved in order to get better. Treatment counselors within a LGBT rehab can help clients mend relationships with their family members, in the case their loved ones disagree with their sexual preference as is generally the case. This situation is an extremely common trigger for abusing drugs, and it is an illustration of a thing that can be handled in rehab. LGBT clients often simply want to be accepted in their lives, and rehab will help them accept themselves and build confidence so that they can lead a wholesome life free from alcohol and drugs.
