LGBT means lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are programs which address the unique needs of these clients. Those who are LGBT can often feel alone, misunderstood, and considered socially depraved. This is often a very hard or painful existence, and leads many LGBT people to a lifestyle of drug use to numb this pain. Someone who is LGBT might not feel relaxed within a traditional rehab facility amongst people who aren't experiencing the same problems they are experiencing of their lives. A LGBT facility provides an environment that's free of judgment, where LGBT clients can feel totally safe and comfortable revealing to their peers and rehabilitation counselors problems which must be resolved in order to get well. Rehab counselors in the LGBT rehab can help clients mend relationships with their loved ones, in the case their family disagree with their sexual preference as is generally the case. This situation is certainly a common trigger for abusing drugs, and is a good example of something which would be handled in treatment. LGBT clients often just want to be accepted in their lives, and rehab will help them accept themselves and produce confidence in order to lead a wholesome life clear of alcohol and drugs.
