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 considered socially depraved. This is often a quite challenging or painful way to live, and leads many LGBT people to a lifestyle of drug use to numb this pain. Someone who is LGBT may not feel comfortable inside a traditional rehab facility amongst people who aren't experiencing the same challenges they are experiencing in their lives. A LGBT facility provides an environment which is free from judgment, where LGBT clients can be totally comfortable and safe divulging to their peers and rehabilitation counselors problems which should be resolved so that they can get better. Rehab counselors in a LGBT rehab will help clients repair relationships with their family, in the case their family disagree with their sexual choice as is usually the case. This circumstance is definitely a frequent trigger for abusing drugs, and is also an illustration of an issue that would be resolved in rehab. LGBT clients often just want to be accepted within their lives, and rehab will help them accept themselves and create confidence so that they can lead a wholesome life free of drugs and alcohol.
