LGBT stands for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are programs which address the particular needs of these clients. Those who are LGBT can often feel alone, misunderstood, and seen as socially depraved. This can be a quite challenging or painful existence, and leads many LGBT individuals to a lifestyle of drug abuse to numb this pain. Somebody who is LGBT may not feel safe inside a conventional rehabilitation facility amongst folks who aren't experiencing the same challenges they may be experiencing in their lives. A LGBT facility provides an environment that's free from judgment, where LGBT clients can feel totally comfortable and safe revealing to their peers and rehab counselors issues which have to be resolved to enable them to get well. Rehabilitation counselors in the LGBT rehab can help clients fix relationships with their loved ones, in the case their loved ones disagree with their sexual choice as is usually the case. This circumstance is an extremely frequent trigger for drug use, and it is an example of something which can be resolved in treatment. LGBT clients often simply want to be accepted in their lives, and rehab will help them accept themselves and create confidence to be able to lead a wholesome life without any alcohol and drugs.
