LGBT stands for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are facilities which address the unique needs of these clients. Those who are LGBT can feel alone, misunderstood, and considered socially depraved. This is often a quite challenging or painful existence, and leads many LGBT individuals to a lifestyle of substance abuse to alleviate this pain. Someone who is LGBT may not feel safe inside a conventional rehabilitation facility amongst people who aren't experiencing the same problems they may be experiencing within their lives. A LGBT program provides an environment which is free of judgment, where LGBT clients can feel totally safe and comfortable revealing to their peers and rehab counselors issues which must be resolved to be able to get well. Rehab counselors in a LGBT rehab can help clients fix relationships with their loved ones, in the case their loved ones disagree with their sexual choice as is usually the case. This situation is definitely a common trigger for abusing drugs, which is an illustration of an issue that could be handled in rehab. LGBT clients often only want to be accepted within their lives, and rehabilitation will help them accept themselves and build confidence in order to lead a healthy life without any drugs and alcohol.
