LGBT stands for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are facilities which address the particular needs of these clients. People who are LGBT can often feel alone, misunderstood, and seen as socially unwanted. This is sometimes an extremely tough or painful way to live, and leads many LGBT individuals to a life of drug abuse to numb these feelings. Someone who is LGBT may not feel relaxed in a conventional rehab program amongst people who aren't experiencing the same problems they are experiencing of their lives. A LGBT facility offers an environment that is free of judgment, where LGBT clients can feel completely comfortable and safe divulging to their peers and rehab counselors issues which have to be resolved to enable them to get better. Rehab counselors in a LGBT rehab can help clients repair relationships with their family members, in the case their family disagree with their sexual preference as is usually the case. This circumstance is an extremely frequent trigger for drug abuse, which is an illustration of an issue that can be resolved in rehabilitation. LGBT clients often would like to be accepted in their lives, and treatment will help them accept themselves and create confidence in order to lead a wholesome life free from alcohol and drugs.
