LGBT means lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are facilities which address the particular needs of these clients. Those who are LGBT can feel alone, not understood, and viewed as socially unwanted. This is sometimes a quite challenging and painful way to live, and leads many LGBT people to a lifestyle of substance abuse to numb this pain. Someone who is LGBT may not feel comfortable in a traditional treatment program amongst individuals who aren't experiencing the same problems they may be experiencing in their lives. A LGBT program offers an environment that's free from judgment, where LGBT clients can feel completely safe and comfortable divulging to their peers and rehab counselors issues which need to be handled to be able to recover. Rehabilitation counselors in a LGBT rehab can help clients mend relationships with their family members, in the event their family disagree with their sexual preference as is generally the case. This situation is an extremely common trigger for drug abuse, and is also an example of a thing that could be resolved in rehab. 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.
