LGBT stands 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 depraved. This is sometimes a very difficult or painful way to live, and leads many LGBT individuals to a life of drug use to alleviate this pain. Somebody who is LGBT might not exactly feel relaxed within a traditional rehab center amongst folks who aren't experiencing the same challenges they are experiencing in their lives. A LGBT program provides an environment which is totally free of judgment, where LGBT clients can be totally safe and comfortable revealing to their peers and rehab counselors issues which should be resolved so that they can get well. Treatment counselors in a LGBT rehab can help clients mend relationships with their family members, in the case their family disagree with their sexual preference as is usually the case. This circumstance is an extremely frequent trigger for drug use, and is also a good example of something which can be resolved in rehabilitation. LGBT clients often would like to be accepted in their lives, and rehab will help them accept themselves and build confidence to be able to lead a wholesome life free of alcohol and drugs.
