LGBT stands for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are facilities which address the unique needs of these clients. People who are LGBT can feel alone, not understood, and considered socially unwanted. This is often a very hard and painful existence, and leads many LGBT individuals to a lifestyle of drug abuse to alleviate these feelings. Someone who is LGBT may not feel comfortable in a conventional rehab facility amongst individuals who aren't experiencing the same problems they may be experiencing in their lives. A LGBT program offers an environment that's totally free of judgment, where LGBT clients can be totally comfortable and safe divulging to their peers and treatment counselors problems which must be handled so that they can recover. Rehab counselors in the LGBT rehab will help clients mend relationships with their family, in the case their family disagree with their sexual preference as is often the case. This circumstance is definitely a common trigger for drug use, which is an example of something which would be resolved in treatment. LGBT clients often only want to be accepted in their lives, and rehab will help them accept themselves and create confidence so that they can lead a wholesome life free of drugs and alcohol.
