LGBT means lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are facilities which address the particular needs of these clients. Those who are LGBT can often feel alone, not understood, and considered socially depraved. This can be a very difficult or painful existence, and leads many LGBT individuals to a lifestyle of drug use to numb these feelings. Somebody who is LGBT might not feel relaxed inside a conventional treatment facility amongst individuals 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 be totally comfortable and safe revealing to their peers and rehab counselors issues which need to be handled to be able to recover. Rehabilitation counselors within a LGBT rehab can help clients fix relationships with their family, in the event their loved ones disagree with their sexual choice as is generally the case. This situation is an extremely common trigger for substance abuse, and is an example of an issue that will be handled in rehabilitation. LGBT clients often only want to be accepted in their lives, and rehab will help them accept themselves and build confidence in order to lead a healthy life free from drugs and alcohol.
