LGBT means lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are facilities which address the particular needs of these clients. People who are LGBT can feel alone, misunderstood, and viewed as socially unwanted. This can be a quite challenging and painful existence, and leads many LGBT people to a life of substance abuse to alleviate this pain. Somebody who is LGBT may not feel relaxed in a conventional treatment center amongst folks who aren't experiencing the same challenges they may be experiencing within their lives. A LGBT program offers an environment which is totally free of judgment, where LGBT clients can feel completely safe and comfortable divulging to their peers and rehab counselors problems which need to be resolved in order to get better. Treatment counselors within a LGBT rehab will help clients repair relationships with their family, in the event that their family disagree with their sexual preference as is often the case. This situation is an extremely common trigger for substance abuse, and is also an example of a thing that will be resolved in rehab. LGBT clients often just want to be accepted in their lives, and rehabilitation will help them accept themselves and build confidence to be able to lead a healthy life without any alcohol and drugs.
