LGBT stands for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are facilities which address the particular needs of these clients. People who are LGBT can often feel alone, not understood, and considered socially unwanted. This is often a very difficult and painful way to live, and leads many LGBT people to a lifestyle of drug abuse to numb these feelings. Someone who is LGBT may not feel relaxed inside a traditional rehab program amongst people who aren't experiencing the same problems they are experiencing within their lives. A LGBT program provides an environment that is totally free of judgment, where LGBT clients can be completely comfortable and safe divulging to their peers and rehab counselors issues which should be resolved to enable them to get well. Rehab counselors in a LGBT rehab can help clients mend relationships with their family, in the event their loved ones disagree with their sexual choice as is often the case. This circumstance is certainly a common trigger for substance abuse, which is an example of an issue that could be resolved in treatment. LGBT clients often simply want to be accepted in their lives, and rehabilitation will help them accept themselves and create confidence so that they can lead a healthy life free of alcohol and drugs.
