LGBT means lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are programs which address the unique needs of these clients. Individuals who are LGBT can feel alone, misunderstood, and considered socially unwanted. This may be a quite challenging and painful existence, and leads many LGBT individuals to a life of substance abuse to alleviate these feelings. Somebody who is LGBT may not feel relaxed inside a traditional rehab program amongst folks who aren't experiencing the same problems they are experiencing in their lives. A LGBT facility provides an environment which can be free from judgment, where LGBT clients can be totally comfortable and safe divulging to their peers and rehabilitation counselors problems which should be handled so that they can get well. Treatment counselors in a LGBT rehab will help clients repair relationships with their family, in the event their family disagree with their sexual preference as is often the case. This situation is an extremely frequent trigger for drug abuse, which is an example of something which will be resolved in rehab. LGBT clients often would like to be accepted within their lives, and treatment will help them accept themselves and build confidence to be able to lead a healthy life clear of drugs and alcohol.
