LGBT stands for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are facilities which address the particular needs of these clients. Those who are LGBT can feel alone, not understood, and considered socially unwanted. This may be a very hard and painful way to live, and leads many LGBT individuals to a life of drug use to alleviate this pain. Somebody who is LGBT may not feel relaxed within a traditional rehab center amongst individuals who aren't experiencing the same problems they may be experiencing in their lives. A LGBT program provides an environment that is free from judgment, where LGBT clients can be completely comfortable and safe revealing to their peers and rehabilitation counselors issues which have to be resolved to be able to get well. Rehab counselors within a LGBT rehab will help clients fix relationships with their family members, in the event their loved ones disagree with their sexual preference as is generally the case. This situation is certainly a common trigger for drug abuse, which is an example of something which would be handled in rehabilitation. LGBT clients often would like to be accepted in their lives, and treatment will help them accept themselves and build confidence in order to lead a wholesome life free from alcohol and drugs.
