LGBT stands for 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 considered socially depraved. This can be a very difficult or painful existence, and leads many LGBT individuals to a lifestyle of substance abuse to numb these feelings. Somebody who is LGBT might not feel relaxed in a conventional rehab program amongst individuals who aren't experiencing the same challenges they are experiencing within their lives. A LGBT facility provides an environment that is free from judgment, where LGBT clients can be totally comfortable and safe divulging to their peers and rehab counselors issues which need to be handled to be able to get better. Rehab counselors within a LGBT rehab will help clients mend relationships with their family members, in case their loved ones disagree with their sexual choice as is usually the case. This situation is definitely a frequent trigger for drug use, and is also a good example of something which would be resolved in rehabilitation. LGBT clients often simply want to be accepted within their lives, and rehab will help them accept themselves and create confidence in order to lead a wholesome life without any alcohol and drugs.
