LGBT represents lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are facilities which address the particular needs of these clients. Individuals who are LGBT can often feel alone, misunderstood, and viewed as socially unwanted. This can be a quite challenging and painful way to live, and leads many LGBT people to a life of substance abuse to numb this pain. Somebody who is LGBT might not feel safe in a traditional rehab center amongst individuals who aren't experiencing the same problems they are experiencing within their lives. A LGBT program provides an environment which is free of judgment, where LGBT clients can be totally comfortable and safe revealing to their peers and treatment counselors issues which need to be resolved in order to get well. Rehabilitation counselors in a LGBT rehab can help clients mend relationships with their loved ones, in case their family disagree with their sexual choice as is usually the case. This circumstance is an extremely frequent trigger for abusing drugs, and is also an example of something which will be resolved in rehabilitation. LGBT clients often would like to be accepted in their lives, and treatment will help them accept themselves and produce confidence so that they can lead a wholesome life free from alcohol and drugs.
