LGBT stands for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are facilities which address the unique needs of these clients. Individuals who are LGBT can often feel alone, not understood, and viewed as socially unwanted. This is often an extremely tough or painful way to live, and leads many LGBT individuals to a life of drug use to alleviate these feelings. Somebody who is LGBT may not feel relaxed within a conventional rehabilitation program amongst people who aren't experiencing the same problems they may be experiencing in their lives. A LGBT program offers an environment which is free from judgment, where LGBT clients can be completely comfortable and safe divulging to their peers and rehabilitation counselors issues which must be handled in order to get well. Treatment counselors in a LGBT rehab will help clients repair relationships with their family members, in the case their loved ones disagree with their sexual preference as is usually the case. This circumstance is an extremely common trigger for abusing drugs, and it is an illustration of an issue that will be resolved in treatment. LGBT clients often just want to be accepted within their lives, and rehabilitation will help them accept themselves and build confidence to enable them to lead a healthy life without any alcohol and drugs.
