LGBT stands for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are programs which address the unique needs of these clients. Those who are LGBT can feel alone, not understood, and viewed as socially unwanted. This can be a very hard or painful way to live, and leads many LGBT individuals to a life of drug use to alleviate this pain. Someone who is LGBT may not feel at ease in a conventional treatment center amongst people who aren't experiencing the same challenges they may be experiencing within their lives. A LGBT facility provides an environment that is totally free of judgment, where LGBT clients can feel totally comfortable and safe revealing to their peers and rehabilitation counselors issues which have to be handled in order to recover. Treatment counselors in a LGBT rehab will help clients repair relationships with their family, in the case their family disagree with their sexual choice as is usually the case. This circumstance is definitely a frequent trigger for drug abuse, which is an example of something which could be handled in rehab. LGBT clients often just want to be accepted within their lives, and rehab will help them accept themselves and create confidence so that they can lead a wholesome life clear of alcohol and drugs.
