LGBT is short for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are programs which address the unique needs of these clients. People who are LGBT can feel alone, misunderstood, and considered socially unwanted. This is often a very difficult or painful way to live, and leads many LGBT individuals to a life of substance abuse to numb this pain. Somebody who is LGBT may not feel comfortable in a conventional rehabilitation facility amongst people who aren't experiencing the same challenges they are experiencing within their lives. A LGBT rehab offers an environment that's totally free of judgment, where LGBT clients can be totally comfortable and safe divulging to their peers and rehab counselors problems which have to be resolved to be able to get better. Treatment counselors in the LGBT rehab can help clients mend relationships with their family members, in case their loved ones disagree with their sexual choice as is often the case. This situation is an extremely frequent trigger for drug use, and is also a good example of something will be resolved in treatment. LGBT clients often would like to be accepted within their lives, and treatment will help them accept themselves and create confidence so that they can lead a healthy life clear of drugs and alcohol.
