LGBT stands for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are programs which address the particular needs of these clients. People who are LGBT can feel alone, misunderstood, and seen as socially depraved. This is sometimes a quite challenging and painful way to live, and leads many LGBT people to a life of substance abuse to alleviate this pain. Someone who is LGBT may not feel relaxed in a traditional rehab program amongst people who aren't experiencing the same challenges they are experiencing within their lives. A LGBT facility provides an environment that's free of judgment, where LGBT clients can feel completely safe and comfortable revealing to their peers and rehab counselors issues which should be handled so that they can get better. Treatment counselors in the LGBT rehab will help clients fix relationships with their family, in the event that their family disagree with their sexual preference as is usually the case. This situation is an extremely common trigger for substance abuse, and it is an example of something which can be resolved in rehabilitation. LGBT clients often only want to be accepted within their lives, and rehab will help them accept themselves and create confidence to enable them to lead a healthy life free from alcohol and drugs.
