LGBT represents lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are facilities which address the particular needs of these clients. Individuals who are LGBT can often feel alone, misunderstood, and considered socially unwanted. This can be a very hard or painful way to live, and leads many LGBT people to a lifestyle of drug use to numb this pain. Someone who is LGBT might not exactly feel safe within a traditional rehabilitation facility amongst people who aren't experiencing the same problems they may be experiencing of their lives. A LGBT facility provides an environment that is free of judgment, where LGBT clients can feel completely safe and comfortable revealing to their peers and rehabilitation counselors issues which need to be handled to enable them to get well. Treatment counselors in a LGBT rehab will help clients mend relationships with their family members, in the case their loved ones disagree with their sexual preference as is generally the case. This situation is an extremely common trigger for drug abuse, and is an illustration of an issue that would be resolved in rehab. LGBT clients often just want to be accepted within their lives, and rehab will help them accept themselves and create confidence so that they can lead a wholesome life without any alcohol and drugs.
