LGBT means lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are programs which address the particular needs of these clients. People who are LGBT can feel alone, not understood, and viewed as socially depraved. This is often a very hard and painful way to live, and leads many LGBT people to a life of substance abuse to numb this pain. Somebody that is LGBT might not feel at ease in a conventional treatment facility amongst people who aren't experiencing the same challenges they may be experiencing of their lives. A LGBT rehab provides an environment which is totally free of judgment, where LGBT clients can be totally safe and comfortable revealing to their peers and rehabilitation counselors problems which need to be resolved to be able to get well. Rehab counselors in the LGBT rehab can help clients mend relationships with their family members, in case their loved ones disagree with their sexual preference as is generally the case. This situation is an extremely frequent trigger for abusing drugs, and is an example of a thing that will be handled in treatment. LGBT clients often only want to be accepted within their lives, and rehabilitation will help them accept themselves and build confidence to be able to lead a healthy life free from drugs and alcohol.
