LGBT stands for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are programs which address the unique needs of these clients. People who are LGBT can often feel alone, not understood, and considered socially depraved. This may be a very difficult or painful way to live, and leads many LGBT people to a life of drug abuse to alleviate these feelings. Someone that is LGBT might not feel comfortable inside a conventional rehabilitation program amongst people who aren't experiencing the same problems they may be experiencing of their lives. A LGBT facility provides an environment which can be totally free of judgment, where LGBT clients can be totally comfortable and safe revealing to their peers and rehabilitation counselors issues which should be handled in order to get well. Treatment counselors in a LGBT rehab can help clients repair relationships with their family, in the event that their family disagree with their sexual preference as is usually the case. This situation is an extremely common trigger for drug abuse, and is also an example of an issue that would be resolved in rehab. LGBT clients often would like to be accepted in their lives, and rehab will help them accept themselves and create confidence to enable them to lead a wholesome life free of drugs and alcohol.
