LGBT means lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are programs which address the particular needs of these clients. Those who are LGBT can often feel alone, not understood, and viewed as socially depraved. This is often an extremely tough or painful way to live, and leads many LGBT people to a life of drug use to numb these feelings. Someone who is LGBT may not feel safe in a traditional rehabilitation facility amongst folks who aren't experiencing the same challenges they may be experiencing within their lives. A LGBT facility offers an environment that's totally free of judgment, where LGBT clients can feel completely comfortable and safe divulging to their peers and treatment counselors problems which need to be resolved so that they can get better. Rehabilitation counselors in the LGBT rehab will help clients repair relationships with their family members, in the event that their loved ones disagree with their sexual preference as is generally the case. This situation is an extremely common trigger for drug abuse, and is an example of an issue that could be resolved in treatment. LGBT clients often just want to be accepted within their lives, and rehab will help them accept themselves and create confidence to be able to lead a healthy life free of drugs and alcohol.
