LGBT means lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are facilities which address the unique needs of these clients. Those who are LGBT can feel alone, misunderstood, and viewed as socially depraved. This can be an extremely tough or painful way to live, and leads many LGBT people to a life of drug abuse to numb these feelings. Somebody who is LGBT might not exactly feel at ease within a traditional rehab program amongst folks who aren't experiencing the same challenges they are experiencing in their lives. A LGBT rehab offers an environment that's free of judgment, where LGBT clients can feel completely safe and comfortable revealing to their peers and rehabilitation counselors problems which must be handled so that they can recover. Rehabilitation counselors in a LGBT rehab will help clients repair relationships with their family members, in case their loved ones disagree with their sexual choice as is generally the case. This circumstance is an extremely common trigger for substance abuse, and is an illustration of something which can be handled in rehabilitation. LGBT clients often just want to be accepted in their lives, and treatment will help them accept themselves and build confidence to enable them to lead a wholesome life free of alcohol and drugs.
