LGBT stands for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are programs which address the particular needs of these clients. People who are LGBT can often feel alone, misunderstood, and considered socially unwanted. This can be 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 exactly feel comfortable within a traditional rehab facility amongst folks who aren't experiencing the same problems they may be experiencing of their lives. A LGBT facility provides an environment which is totally free of judgment, where LGBT clients can be totally comfortable and safe revealing to their peers and rehab counselors problems which need to be resolved in order to recover. Rehabilitation counselors in the LGBT rehab will help clients mend relationships with their family members, in the event their family disagree with their sexual choice as is generally the case. This circumstance is an extremely common trigger for abusing drugs, which is an illustration of something which would be resolved in treatment. LGBT clients often would like 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 from drugs and alcohol.
