LGBT stands for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are programs which address the particular needs of these clients. Individuals who are LGBT can feel alone, not understood, and seen as socially unwanted. This can be a quite challenging or painful way to live, and leads many LGBT people to a lifestyle of drug use to alleviate these feelings. Somebody who is LGBT might not feel at ease within a traditional rehabilitation center amongst people who aren't experiencing the same problems they are experiencing of their lives. A LGBT facility provides an environment that is free of judgment, where LGBT clients can be completely comfortable and safe revealing to their peers and treatment counselors problems which should be handled in order to recover. Rehabilitation counselors in a LGBT rehab will help clients mend relationships with their family, in the case their family disagree with their sexual choice as is generally the case. This circumstance is an extremely common trigger for abusing drugs, which is a good example of a thing that will be resolved in rehab. LGBT clients often just want to be accepted within their lives, and rehabilitation will help them accept themselves and build confidence to enable them to lead a wholesome life without any alcohol and drugs.
