LGBT represents lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are facilities which address the unique needs of these clients. Individuals who are LGBT can feel alone, misunderstood, and viewed as socially unwanted. This is often a quite challenging or painful way to live, and leads many LGBT people to a life of drug abuse to alleviate this pain. Someone who is LGBT may not feel relaxed inside a conventional rehab center amongst individuals who aren't experiencing the same challenges they are experiencing in their lives. A LGBT program provides an environment which is free from judgment, where LGBT clients can be totally comfortable and safe revealing to their peers and rehab counselors issues which need to be handled so that they can get better. Treatment counselors in a LGBT rehab can help clients repair relationships with their family, in case their family disagree with their sexual preference as is often the case. This situation is certainly a common trigger for drug use, and is also an example of an issue that would be resolved in rehab. LGBT clients often simply want to be accepted within their lives, and rehabilitation will help them accept themselves and create confidence in order to lead a healthy life free of alcohol and drugs.
