LGBT stands for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are facilities which address the particular needs of these clients. Those who are LGBT can often feel alone, misunderstood, and seen as socially depraved. This is sometimes a very hard and painful way to live, and leads many LGBT people to a lifestyle of drug abuse to numb these feelings. Someone that is LGBT might not exactly feel at ease within a traditional rehab center amongst people who aren't experiencing the same challenges they may be experiencing in their lives. A LGBT rehab offers an environment that is free of judgment, where LGBT clients can feel completely safe and comfortable divulging to their peers and treatment counselors issues which have to be resolved to be able to get well. Rehabilitation counselors in a LGBT rehab will help clients fix relationships with their loved ones, in the event their family disagree with their sexual preference as is often the case. This circumstance is certainly a common trigger for drug use, which is an example of something which will be resolved in rehabilitation. LGBT clients often only want to be accepted in their lives, and rehab will help them accept themselves and create confidence so that they can lead a healthy life without any drugs and alcohol.
