LGBT means lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are facilities which address the unique needs of these clients. People who are LGBT can often feel alone, misunderstood, and considered socially unwanted. This is often a very hard or painful way to live, and leads many LGBT people to a life of drug abuse to numb these feelings. Someone that is LGBT may not feel safe within a conventional rehab facility amongst folks who aren't experiencing the same problems they may be experiencing of their lives. A LGBT program provides an environment that is free of judgment, where LGBT clients can feel totally safe and comfortable divulging to their peers and rehabilitation counselors problems which should be handled so that they can get better. Treatment counselors in a LGBT rehab can help clients repair relationships with their family members, in the event that their family disagree with their sexual preference as is often the case. This situation is certainly a frequent trigger for substance abuse, and it is an example of something which can be resolved in rehabilitation. LGBT clients often only want to be accepted in their lives, and treatment will help them accept themselves and create confidence to be able to lead a healthy life without any drugs and alcohol.
