LGBT stands for 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 viewed as socially depraved. This may be a very hard and painful existence, and leads many LGBT people to a lifestyle of substance abuse to numb these feelings. Someone who is LGBT might not feel relaxed within a conventional rehab program amongst people who aren't experiencing the same problems they may be experiencing of their lives. A LGBT program offers an environment which is totally free of judgment, where LGBT clients can be completely comfortable and safe revealing to their peers and rehab counselors problems which must be resolved to be able to get well. Rehabilitation counselors in a LGBT rehab will help clients mend relationships with their loved ones, in the event their family disagree with their sexual choice as is generally the case. This circumstance is an extremely frequent trigger for abusing drugs, and is an example of something can be handled in treatment. LGBT clients often simply want to be accepted within their lives, and rehabilitation will help them accept themselves and build confidence to enable them to lead a healthy life clear of drugs and alcohol.
