LGBT means lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are facilities which address the unique needs of these clients. Individuals who are LGBT can often feel alone, misunderstood, and viewed as socially depraved. This can be a very hard and painful existence, and leads many LGBT people to a life of drug use to alleviate these feelings. Someone who is LGBT may not feel relaxed in a conventional rehabilitation facility amongst individuals who aren't experiencing the same challenges they may be experiencing of their lives. A LGBT program provides an environment which can be free from judgment, where LGBT clients can feel completely comfortable and safe revealing to their peers and treatment counselors issues which have to be handled to be able to recover. Rehab counselors in a LGBT rehab will help clients repair relationships with their loved ones, in the event their loved ones disagree with their sexual preference as is generally the case. This circumstance is an extremely common trigger for abusing drugs, and is an illustration of an issue that will be handled in rehabilitation. LGBT clients often just want to be accepted in their lives, and rehab will help them accept themselves and create confidence to be able to lead a wholesome life free from alcohol and drugs.
