LGBT stands for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are facilities which address the unique needs of these clients. Those who are LGBT can feel alone, misunderstood, and considered socially depraved. This can be a quite challenging or painful existence, and leads many LGBT individuals to a life of substance abuse to numb this pain. Someone who is LGBT might not feel comfortable inside a traditional rehab center amongst people who aren't experiencing the same problems they may be experiencing of their lives. A LGBT program provides an environment which is free of judgment, where LGBT clients can feel completely safe and comfortable divulging to their peers and rehab counselors problems which should be handled in order to get better. Treatment counselors in a LGBT rehab can help clients fix relationships with their family, in the event their loved ones disagree with their sexual choice as is usually the case. This situation is an extremely common trigger for abusing drugs, and is an illustration of something which would be resolved in rehabilitation. LGBT clients often just want to be accepted within their lives, and rehab will help them accept themselves and create confidence to enable them to lead a wholesome life free from drugs and alcohol.
