LGBT stands for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are programs which address the unique needs of these clients. Individuals who are LGBT can feel alone, misunderstood, and considered socially depraved. This is often an extremely tough or painful existence, and leads many LGBT individuals to a lifestyle of drug abuse to numb these feelings. Someone who is LGBT might not exactly feel safe in a traditional rehabilitation facility amongst individuals who aren't experiencing the same challenges they are experiencing in their lives. A LGBT facility provides an environment which can be free of judgment, where LGBT clients can feel completely comfortable and safe divulging to their peers and rehabilitation counselors issues which should be handled in order to get well. Rehab counselors within a LGBT rehab can help clients fix relationships with their family, in the event that their loved ones disagree with their sexual preference as is generally the case. This situation is an extremely common trigger for abusing drugs, and is a good example of something will be handled in rehabilitation. LGBT clients often would like to be accepted in their lives, and rehabilitation will help them accept themselves and build confidence in order to lead a wholesome life clear of alcohol and drugs.
