LGBT stands for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are programs which address the unique needs of these clients. Individuals who are LGBT can often feel alone, misunderstood, and considered socially depraved. This is often a very difficult or painful way to live, and leads many LGBT individuals to a life of drug abuse to alleviate these feelings. Somebody who is LGBT may not feel at ease inside a conventional treatment program amongst folks who aren't experiencing the same challenges they are experiencing in their lives. A LGBT facility offers an environment which is free of judgment, where LGBT clients can feel completely safe and comfortable revealing to their peers and rehabilitation counselors problems which have to be resolved in order to get well. Treatment counselors in the LGBT rehab will help clients repair relationships with their family, in the case their loved ones disagree with their sexual choice as is usually the case. This circumstance is an extremely frequent trigger for drug abuse, and it is an example of an issue that will be resolved in rehab. LGBT clients often only want to be accepted in their lives, and rehabilitation will help them accept themselves and build confidence in order to lead a wholesome life clear of drugs and alcohol.
