LGBT stands for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are programs which address the unique needs of these clients. Individuals who are LGBT can often feel alone, not understood, and viewed as socially unwanted. This can be a very hard and painful way to live, and leads many LGBT people to a life of drug use to alleviate these feelings. Somebody who is LGBT might not feel safe within a traditional rehab facility amongst individuals who aren't experiencing the same problems they are experiencing in their lives. A LGBT facility offers an environment that is free of judgment, where LGBT clients can be completely safe and comfortable divulging to their peers and rehabilitation counselors issues which need to be resolved to be able to get well. Treatment counselors in a LGBT rehab can help clients repair relationships with their loved ones, in case their family disagree with their sexual choice as is usually the case. This circumstance is definitely a frequent trigger for substance abuse, which is an example of something which will be handled in rehabilitation. LGBT clients often just want to be accepted in their lives, and rehabilitation will help them accept themselves and build confidence to enable them to lead a healthy life free from alcohol and drugs.
