LGBT is short for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are programs which address the particular needs of these clients. Those who are LGBT can often feel alone, misunderstood, and seen as socially depraved. This can be a quite challenging and painful way to live, and leads many LGBT individuals to a life of drug use to alleviate these feelings. Somebody that is LGBT might not feel relaxed in a conventional treatment facility amongst individuals who aren't experiencing the same problems they are experiencing of their lives. A LGBT facility provides an environment which can be free of judgment, where LGBT clients can feel totally comfortable and safe revealing to their peers and rehabilitation counselors problems which have to be handled in order to get better. Rehabilitation counselors in the LGBT rehab will help clients fix relationships with their family members, in the case their family disagree with their sexual choice as is usually the case. This situation is an extremely frequent trigger for abusing drugs, which is a good example of something can be handled in rehab. LGBT clients often would like to be accepted in their lives, and treatment will help them accept themselves and build confidence to be able to lead a wholesome life free from alcohol and drugs.
