LGBT means lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are facilities which address the particular needs of these clients. People who are LGBT can feel alone, not understood, and viewed as socially unwanted. This may be a very difficult or painful way to live, and leads many LGBT individuals to a lifestyle of substance abuse to alleviate this pain. Someone who is LGBT may not feel relaxed inside a traditional treatment center amongst people who aren't experiencing the same problems they may be experiencing of their lives. A LGBT facility offers an environment that is free from judgment, where LGBT clients can be completely comfortable and safe divulging to their peers and treatment counselors issues which should be resolved in order to recover. Rehabilitation counselors in a LGBT rehab will help clients mend relationships with their family members, in the case their loved ones disagree with their sexual choice as is often the case. This situation is an extremely frequent trigger for substance abuse, and is an example of a thing that would be handled in treatment. LGBT clients often only want to be accepted within their lives, and rehab will help them accept themselves and build confidence so that they can lead a healthy life free of drugs and alcohol.
