LGBT means lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are programs which address the unique needs of these clients. Those who are LGBT can often feel alone, not understood, and considered socially depraved. This may be a quite challenging or painful way to live, and leads many LGBT individuals to a life of drug abuse to alleviate these feelings. Someone who is LGBT may not feel relaxed within a traditional rehab program amongst people who aren't experiencing the same challenges they are experiencing in their lives. A LGBT facility offers an environment that is totally free of judgment, where LGBT clients can be completely safe and comfortable divulging to their peers and rehab counselors problems which have to be resolved so that they can recover. Rehab counselors in the LGBT rehab will help clients mend relationships with their loved ones, in the case their loved ones disagree with their sexual preference as is often the case. This situation is certainly a common trigger for abusing drugs, which is an illustration of a thing that would be resolved in rehab. LGBT clients often just want to be accepted within their lives, and rehabilitation will help them accept themselves and build confidence to be able to lead a wholesome life clear of alcohol and drugs.
