LGBT stands for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are programs which address the unique needs of these clients. Those who are LGBT can feel alone, misunderstood, and viewed as socially depraved. This is sometimes a very difficult and painful way to live, and leads many LGBT people to a life of drug abuse to alleviate this pain. Somebody who is LGBT may not feel safe in a traditional rehabilitation facility amongst individuals who aren't experiencing the same problems they are experiencing in their lives. A LGBT facility provides an environment that is free of judgment, where LGBT clients can feel totally comfortable and safe revealing to their peers and treatment counselors problems which should be handled to be able to recover. Treatment counselors in a LGBT rehab can help clients repair relationships with their loved ones, in the case their loved ones disagree with their sexual choice as is generally the case. This circumstance is definitely a common trigger for drug abuse, and is an example of a thing that would be resolved in rehabilitation. LGBT clients often simply want to be accepted within their lives, and rehabilitation will help them accept themselves and create confidence in order to lead a wholesome life clear of drugs and alcohol.
