LGBT represents lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are facilities which address the unique needs of these clients. Those who are LGBT can often feel alone, not understood, and considered socially depraved. This is often a very hard and painful way to live, and leads many LGBT people to a life of drug abuse to numb this pain. Someone who is LGBT might not feel safe within a traditional rehab program amongst individuals who aren't experiencing the same challenges they may be experiencing of their lives. A LGBT program offers an environment that's free of judgment, where LGBT clients can be totally safe and comfortable revealing to their peers and rehabilitation counselors issues which need to be resolved so that they can get well. Treatment counselors in a LGBT rehab can help clients mend relationships with their family members, in case their family disagree with their sexual preference as is generally the case. This situation is certainly a common trigger for abusing drugs, and is an example of something will be resolved in rehabilitation. LGBT clients often simply want to be accepted within their lives, and treatment will help them accept themselves and build confidence so that they can lead a healthy life free of drugs and alcohol.
