LGBT stands for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are facilities which address the unique needs of these clients. Those who are LGBT can often feel alone, not understood, and seen as socially depraved. This is sometimes a very hard or painful existence, and leads many LGBT people to a lifestyle of drug abuse to numb this pain. Somebody that is LGBT might not feel at ease in a traditional rehab facility amongst people who aren't experiencing the same problems they may be experiencing within their lives. A LGBT program offers an environment which is free of judgment, where LGBT clients can be totally safe and comfortable divulging to their peers and rehab counselors problems which need to be resolved to be able to get better. Rehabilitation counselors in a LGBT rehab can help clients mend relationships with their family, in the case their family disagree with their sexual preference as is generally the case. This situation is an extremely frequent trigger for drug use, and is also an illustration of an issue that could be resolved in treatment. LGBT clients often just want to be accepted within their lives, and rehabilitation will help them accept themselves and build confidence in order to lead a healthy life free of alcohol and drugs.
