LGBT stands for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are facilities which address the particular needs of these clients. Those who are LGBT can often feel alone, misunderstood, and seen as socially depraved. This may be an extremely tough 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 in a conventional rehab facility amongst people who aren't experiencing the same problems they may be experiencing in their lives. A LGBT program provides an environment which can be free of judgment, where LGBT clients can feel completely comfortable and safe revealing to their peers and rehab counselors issues which should be handled to enable them to get better. Rehab counselors in a LGBT rehab can help clients mend relationships with their loved ones, in the event their loved ones disagree with their sexual preference as is generally the case. This situation is definitely a frequent trigger for abusing drugs, and is an example of something can be resolved in rehabilitation. LGBT clients often only want to be accepted in their lives, and rehab will help them accept themselves and create confidence to be able to lead a healthy life free from alcohol and drugs.
