LGBT is short for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are facilities which address the particular needs of these clients. People who are LGBT can feel alone, misunderstood, and seen as socially unwanted. This may be a quite challenging and painful existence, and leads many LGBT individuals to a life of substance abuse to alleviate these feelings. Somebody who is LGBT might not feel at ease within a traditional rehab facility amongst individuals who aren't experiencing the same problems they are experiencing in their lives. A LGBT program provides an environment that is totally free of judgment, where LGBT clients can feel totally safe and comfortable divulging to their peers and treatment counselors issues which have to be resolved to be able to get better. Rehab counselors in a LGBT rehab can help clients repair relationships with their family, in the case their family disagree with their sexual preference as is often the case. This circumstance is certainly a frequent trigger for abusing drugs, which is an example of an issue that could be resolved in treatment. LGBT clients often only want to be accepted within their lives, and rehab will help them accept themselves and build confidence to enable them to lead a wholesome life free of drugs and alcohol.
