LGBT stands for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are programs which address the unique needs of these clients. Individuals who are LGBT can feel alone, misunderstood, and viewed as socially unwanted. This can be a very difficult or painful way to live, and leads many LGBT people to a life of drug abuse to alleviate this pain. Someone who is LGBT may not feel comfortable in a traditional treatment program amongst people who aren't experiencing the same challenges they are experiencing in their lives. A LGBT facility offers an environment that's totally free of judgment, where LGBT clients can feel completely comfortable and safe revealing to their peers and rehab counselors problems which must be handled to enable them to get better. Treatment counselors in the LGBT rehab will help clients mend relationships with their loved ones, in the event that their family disagree with their sexual preference as is generally the case. This situation is an extremely frequent trigger for drug use, and is a good example of something can be resolved in treatment. LGBT clients often would like to be accepted in their lives, and rehabilitation will help them accept themselves and build confidence to enable them to lead a healthy life without any drugs and alcohol.
