LGBT means lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are programs which address the unique needs of these clients. People who are LGBT can often feel alone, misunderstood, and considered socially unwanted. This can be a very hard or painful existence, and leads many LGBT individuals to a lifestyle of drug abuse to numb these feelings. Someone who is LGBT might not exactly feel at ease in a conventional rehab facility amongst individuals who aren't experiencing the same problems they are experiencing within their lives. A LGBT facility offers an environment which can be free from judgment, where LGBT clients can feel totally safe and comfortable revealing to their peers and rehab counselors issues which must be resolved to be able to get well. Rehab counselors in a LGBT rehab can help clients repair relationships with their family, in the event that their family disagree with their sexual choice as is usually the case. This circumstance is an extremely common trigger for abusing drugs, and is also a good example of a thing that will be handled in rehab. LGBT clients often would like to be accepted in their lives, and treatment will help them accept themselves and create confidence to be able to lead a healthy life free from drugs and alcohol.
