LGBT means lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are programs which address the particular needs of these clients. People who are LGBT can often feel alone, not understood, and seen as socially depraved. This may be a quite challenging or painful existence, and leads many LGBT people to a life of substance abuse to numb this pain. Someone who is LGBT might not exactly feel safe within a traditional rehabilitation facility amongst individuals who aren't experiencing the same problems they may be experiencing in their lives. A LGBT facility provides an environment that is free from judgment, where LGBT clients can feel totally safe and comfortable divulging to their peers and rehab counselors problems which have to be resolved so that they can get better. Treatment counselors in a LGBT rehab can help clients fix relationships with their family members, in case their loved ones disagree with their sexual choice as is often the case. This circumstance is an extremely common trigger for abusing drugs, and it is a good example of a thing that can be resolved in rehabilitation. LGBT clients often would like to be accepted within their lives, and rehabilitation will help them accept themselves and build confidence to be able to lead a healthy life free of alcohol and drugs.
