LGBT represents lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are facilities which address the particular 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 way to live, and leads many LGBT people to a lifestyle of substance abuse to numb these feelings. Somebody who is LGBT might not exactly feel relaxed inside a conventional treatment facility amongst people who aren't experiencing the same problems they are experiencing of their lives. A LGBT program provides an environment that is free of judgment, where LGBT clients can be totally safe and comfortable revealing to their peers and treatment counselors problems which need to be resolved so that they can get better. Rehabilitation counselors in a LGBT rehab will help clients repair relationships with their family, in the event their family disagree with their sexual preference as is usually the case. This situation is certainly a common trigger for drug abuse, and is a good example of something which would be resolved in treatment. LGBT clients often simply want to be accepted within their lives, and treatment will help them accept themselves and create confidence in order to lead a healthy life free of drugs and alcohol.
