LGBT stands for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are facilities which address the particular needs of these clients. Individuals who are LGBT can feel alone, not understood, and viewed as socially depraved. This is sometimes a very hard and painful existence, and leads many LGBT individuals to a lifestyle of drug abuse to numb these feelings. Someone who is LGBT might not exactly feel comfortable within a conventional rehab facility amongst folks who aren't experiencing the same challenges they are experiencing in their lives. A LGBT program offers an environment which can be free from judgment, where LGBT clients can be totally comfortable and safe divulging to their peers and treatment counselors issues which must be handled in order to recover. Rehabilitation counselors within a LGBT rehab can help clients fix relationships with their family, in the event that their family disagree with their sexual preference as is often the case. This situation is an extremely frequent trigger for drug abuse, and it is a good example of something which can be resolved in rehabilitation. LGBT clients often only want to be accepted in their lives, and treatment will help them accept themselves and build confidence to enable them to lead a wholesome life without any alcohol and drugs.
