LGBT means lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are programs which address the particular needs of these clients. Those who are LGBT can feel alone, not understood, and seen as socially unwanted. This is sometimes an extremely tough or painful existence, and leads many LGBT people to a life of drug abuse to numb these feelings. Someone who is LGBT might not exactly feel comfortable within a conventional rehab facility amongst people who aren't experiencing the same problems they may be experiencing within their lives. A LGBT facility provides an environment which can be free from judgment, where LGBT clients can feel totally comfortable and safe divulging to their peers and rehab counselors problems which must be handled to enable them to get better. Rehab counselors in a LGBT rehab can help clients repair relationships with their family, in the event their family disagree with their sexual preference as is generally the case. This circumstance is an extremely common trigger for substance abuse, and is a good example of an issue that could be resolved in rehab. LGBT clients often would like to be accepted within their lives, and treatment will help them accept themselves and create confidence in order to lead a healthy life without any alcohol and drugs.
