LGBT stands for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are programs which address the unique needs of these clients. Individuals who are LGBT can feel alone, not understood, and viewed as socially unwanted. This is often a quite challenging and painful existence, and leads many LGBT people to a life of substance abuse to numb these feelings. Someone who is LGBT may not feel comfortable in a traditional rehab facility amongst individuals who aren't experiencing the same problems they are experiencing within their lives. A LGBT rehab offers an environment which is totally free of judgment, where LGBT clients can feel completely safe and comfortable divulging to their peers and treatment counselors problems which need to be resolved to be able to get better. Rehabilitation counselors in a LGBT rehab will help clients repair relationships with their loved ones, in the case their family disagree with their sexual preference as is generally the case. This situation is certainly a common trigger for abusing drugs, which is a good example of a thing that will be handled in treatment. LGBT clients often only want to be accepted in their lives, and treatment will help them accept themselves and build confidence so that they can lead a wholesome life clear of alcohol and drugs.
