LGBT means lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are facilities which address the particular needs of these clients. Those who are LGBT can feel alone, misunderstood, and seen as socially depraved. This can be a very difficult or painful way to live, and leads many LGBT people to a lifestyle of substance abuse to numb this pain. Someone who is LGBT might not feel comfortable in a traditional rehab facility amongst folks who aren't experiencing the same problems they may be experiencing of their lives. A LGBT program provides an environment that's free of judgment, where LGBT clients can be totally comfortable and safe revealing to their peers and rehabilitation counselors problems which must be handled to enable them to recover. Rehab counselors in a LGBT rehab will help clients mend relationships with their loved ones, in the event their loved ones disagree with their sexual preference as is generally the case. This situation is an extremely frequent trigger for drug abuse, which is an example of something which could be handled in rehabilitation. LGBT clients often would like to be accepted within their lives, and rehab will help them accept themselves and produce confidence to enable them to lead a wholesome life without any alcohol and drugs.
