LGBT is short for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are facilities which address the particular needs of these clients. People who are LGBT can feel alone, misunderstood, and seen as socially depraved. This is sometimes a very difficult and painful way to live, and leads many LGBT people to a lifestyle of drug use to alleviate these feelings. Somebody who is LGBT may not feel relaxed in a conventional rehab program amongst people who aren't experiencing the same problems they are experiencing in their lives. A LGBT program provides an environment which is free from judgment, where LGBT clients can be totally safe and comfortable divulging to their peers and rehabilitation counselors problems which must be resolved in order to get well. Treatment counselors in a LGBT rehab will help clients fix 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 substance abuse, and is an illustration of something could be resolved in rehabilitation. LGBT clients often would like to be accepted in their lives, and rehabilitation will help them accept themselves and build confidence in order to lead a healthy life clear of alcohol and drugs.
