LGBT stands for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are facilities which address the unique needs of these clients. Those who are LGBT can often feel alone, not understood, and seen as socially depraved. This may be a very difficult and painful existence, and leads many LGBT people to a life of drug abuse to numb this pain. Someone that is LGBT might not feel safe within a conventional rehab program amongst people who aren't experiencing the same challenges they may be experiencing in their lives. A LGBT program offers an environment that is free of judgment, where LGBT clients can be completely safe and comfortable divulging to their peers and rehab counselors problems which should be resolved so that they can recover. Treatment counselors in the LGBT rehab will help clients repair relationships with their loved ones, in the case their loved ones disagree with their sexual preference as is often the case. This circumstance is certainly a frequent trigger for abusing drugs, which is a good example of something will be resolved in treatment. LGBT clients often simply want to be accepted within their lives, and rehab will help them accept themselves and create confidence in order to lead a healthy life free from drugs and alcohol.
