LGBT represents lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are programs which address the particular needs of these clients. Individuals who are LGBT can feel alone, not understood, and viewed as socially depraved. This is often an extremely tough and painful way to live, and leads many LGBT individuals to a lifestyle of drug abuse to alleviate this pain. Someone who is LGBT might not exactly feel relaxed in a conventional rehab center amongst individuals who aren't experiencing the same problems they may be experiencing within their lives. A LGBT facility provides an environment which is totally free of judgment, where LGBT clients can be completely safe and comfortable revealing to their peers and rehabilitation counselors issues which should be resolved in order to get better. Rehab counselors in a LGBT rehab can help clients repair relationships with their loved ones, in the case their loved ones disagree with their sexual preference as is generally the case. This situation is definitely a common trigger for drug abuse, and is a good example of a thing that can be handled in treatment. LGBT clients often only want to be accepted within their lives, and rehabilitation will help them accept themselves and build confidence in order to lead a healthy life clear of alcohol and drugs.
