LGBT means lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are programs which address the particular needs of these clients. Individuals who are LGBT can often feel alone, misunderstood, and considered socially unwanted. This is often an extremely tough or painful way to live, and leads many LGBT people to a life of drug abuse to numb this pain. Somebody who is LGBT might not feel safe in a conventional rehab facility amongst individuals who aren't experiencing the same challenges they may be experiencing of their lives. A LGBT facility offers an environment which can be totally free of judgment, where LGBT clients can be totally safe and comfortable revealing to their peers and treatment counselors issues which have to be handled in order to recover. Rehab counselors in the LGBT rehab will help clients repair relationships with their family members, in the case their family disagree with their sexual preference as is generally the case. This situation is certainly a frequent trigger for abusing drugs, and it is an illustration of something which can be resolved in treatment. LGBT clients often just want to be accepted in their lives, and treatment will help them accept themselves and build confidence in order to lead a healthy life free from drugs and alcohol.
