LGBT means lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are facilities which address the unique needs of these clients. Individuals who are LGBT can feel alone, not understood, and considered socially unwanted. This may be a very difficult or painful existence, and leads many LGBT individuals to a lifestyle of drug abuse to alleviate these feelings. Someone who is LGBT might not feel at ease in a traditional rehab center amongst individuals who aren't experiencing the same problems they may be experiencing within their lives. A LGBT program provides an environment that's free of judgment, where LGBT clients can feel completely comfortable and safe divulging to their peers and rehabilitation counselors issues which have to be resolved so that they can get better. Treatment counselors in the LGBT rehab can help clients mend relationships with their loved ones, in case their family disagree with their sexual preference as is often the case. This situation is definitely a common trigger for abusing drugs, and is a good example of an issue that can be handled in rehab. LGBT clients often only want to be accepted within their lives, and rehabilitation will help them accept themselves and create confidence in order to lead a healthy life free of alcohol and drugs.
