LGBT is short for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are programs which address the particular needs of these clients. People who are LGBT can often feel alone, not understood, and viewed as socially depraved. This is sometimes a quite challenging or painful existence, and leads many LGBT individuals to a life of drug use to numb these feelings. Somebody who is LGBT might not feel relaxed within a conventional treatment program amongst individuals who aren't experiencing the same challenges they may be experiencing in their lives. A LGBT facility provides an environment which can be free from judgment, where LGBT clients can feel completely safe and comfortable revealing to their peers and treatment counselors issues which should be resolved to be able to get well. Rehabilitation counselors in a LGBT rehab can help clients mend relationships with their family, in the case their family disagree with their sexual preference as is generally the case. This circumstance is an extremely frequent trigger for substance abuse, and is also an example of a thing that will be handled in rehabilitation. LGBT clients often just want to be accepted within their lives, and rehabilitation will help them accept themselves and create confidence so that they can lead a healthy life without any alcohol and drugs.
