LGBT stands for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are facilities which address the unique needs of these clients. Those who are LGBT can often feel alone, not understood, and considered socially depraved. This can be a very hard and painful way to live, and leads many LGBT individuals to a lifestyle of substance abuse to alleviate these feelings. Someone who is LGBT might not exactly feel comfortable inside a conventional rehabilitation center amongst people who aren't experiencing the same problems they may be experiencing in their lives. A LGBT facility provides an environment that is free of judgment, where LGBT clients can feel totally comfortable and safe revealing to their peers and rehab counselors issues which should be handled in order to recover. Rehabilitation counselors in a LGBT rehab can help clients mend relationships with their family, in the event their family disagree with their sexual preference as is usually the case. This circumstance is definitely a common trigger for abusing drugs, and it is an example of an issue that would be handled in treatment. LGBT clients often would like to be accepted in their lives, and rehab will help them accept themselves and produce confidence in order to lead a healthy life without any drugs and alcohol.
