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 existence, and leads many LGBT individuals to a lifestyle of drug abuse to alleviate this pain. Someone who is LGBT may not feel at ease inside a conventional rehab program amongst individuals who aren't experiencing the same challenges they may be experiencing of their lives. A LGBT program offers an environment that is free of judgment, where LGBT clients can be completely comfortable and safe divulging to their peers and rehab counselors problems which need to be resolved to be able to get well. Rehabilitation counselors in a LGBT rehab will help clients mend relationships with their loved ones, in the event their loved ones disagree with their sexual choice as is generally the case. This circumstance is certainly a frequent trigger for abusing drugs, and is a good example of a thing that could be resolved in treatment. LGBT clients often only want to be accepted in their lives, and rehab will help them accept themselves and build confidence in order to lead a healthy life free of alcohol and drugs.
