LGBT stands for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are facilities which address the particular needs of these clients. Those who are LGBT can often feel alone, not understood, and seen as socially unwanted. This is often an extremely tough and painful existence, and leads many LGBT people to a life of drug abuse to alleviate these feelings. Somebody who is LGBT may not feel relaxed within a traditional rehabilitation center amongst people 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 feel totally comfortable and safe divulging to their peers and rehab counselors problems which need to be handled in order to get better. Rehabilitation counselors in the LGBT rehab will help clients mend relationships with their family members, in the event that their family disagree with their sexual preference as is often the case. This situation is an extremely common trigger for drug use, and is a good example of something which would be resolved in rehabilitation. LGBT clients often just want to be accepted in their lives, and rehabilitation will help them accept themselves and create confidence in order to lead a healthy life free of alcohol and drugs.
