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, not understood, and considered socially unwanted. This is sometimes a very hard and painful existence, and leads many LGBT people to a lifestyle of drug abuse to numb these feelings. Someone who is LGBT might not feel relaxed inside a traditional rehab facility amongst people who aren't experiencing the same problems they may be experiencing of their lives. A LGBT facility provides an environment that is free of judgment, where LGBT clients can be totally safe and comfortable divulging to their peers and rehabilitation counselors issues which must be resolved in order to recover. Rehab counselors in the LGBT rehab can help clients fix relationships with their loved ones, in case their loved ones disagree with their sexual preference as is often the case. This circumstance is certainly a common trigger for drug use, and is an illustration of something could be handled in rehabilitation. LGBT clients often only want to be accepted within their lives, and rehab will help them accept themselves and build confidence to be able to lead a wholesome life without any drugs and alcohol.
