LGBT means lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are facilities which address the unique needs of these clients. People who are LGBT can often feel alone, misunderstood, and viewed as socially unwanted. This is often a very hard and painful way to live, and leads many LGBT individuals to a life of substance abuse to alleviate these feelings. Somebody who is LGBT might not exactly feel safe within a conventional rehabilitation facility amongst folks who aren't experiencing the same challenges they are experiencing within their lives. A LGBT program offers an environment which is free of judgment, where LGBT clients can be totally comfortable and safe divulging to their peers and rehabilitation counselors issues which should be handled in order to get well. Rehabilitation counselors in the LGBT rehab can help clients repair relationships with their family, in the case their family disagree with their sexual preference as is often the case. This circumstance is an extremely frequent trigger for drug abuse, and is a good example of a thing that could be resolved in rehab. LGBT clients often simply want to be accepted within their lives, and rehabilitation will help them accept themselves and build confidence in order to lead a healthy life free from drugs and alcohol.
