LGBT stands for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are programs which address the unique needs of these clients. Those who are LGBT can feel alone, not understood, and considered socially depraved. This may be a quite challenging and painful way to live, and leads many LGBT individuals to a lifestyle of drug use to numb these feelings. Somebody who is LGBT may not feel safe in a traditional treatment center amongst individuals who aren't experiencing the same problems they may be experiencing within their lives. A LGBT facility provides an environment which is free from judgment, where LGBT clients can be completely comfortable and safe divulging to their peers and treatment counselors problems which must be resolved to be able to recover. Treatment counselors in the LGBT rehab will help clients fix relationships with their family members, in the event their family disagree with their sexual preference as is usually the case. This situation is an extremely common trigger for substance abuse, and is also an example of an issue that could be resolved in rehab. LGBT clients often only want to be accepted in their lives, and treatment will help them accept themselves and create confidence to be able to lead a healthy life without any drugs and alcohol.
