LGBT stands for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are facilities which address the particular needs of these clients. Those who are LGBT can feel alone, misunderstood, and seen as socially unwanted. This is often a very difficult and painful existence, and leads many LGBT people to a life of drug abuse to numb this pain. Someone who is LGBT might not exactly feel safe in a traditional rehab facility amongst people who aren't experiencing the same challenges they are experiencing of their lives. A LGBT program provides an environment that's free of judgment, where LGBT clients can be totally safe and comfortable divulging to their peers and rehab counselors issues which need to be resolved to enable them to recover. Rehab counselors in a LGBT rehab can help clients mend relationships with their family, in the event their family disagree with their sexual preference as is usually the case. This situation is definitely a frequent trigger for drug use, which is a good example of something which will be resolved in rehab. LGBT clients often would like to be accepted within their lives, and rehab will help them accept themselves and create confidence in order to lead a healthy life without any drugs and alcohol.
