LGBT stands for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are facilities which address the particular needs of these clients. People who are LGBT can feel alone, misunderstood, and considered socially unwanted. This may be a very difficult or painful way to live, and leads many LGBT people to a life of drug abuse to alleviate this pain. Someone that is LGBT might not feel safe inside a conventional rehab facility amongst individuals who aren't experiencing the same challenges they are experiencing within their lives. A LGBT facility offers an environment that is free from judgment, where LGBT clients can be totally safe and comfortable revealing to their peers and treatment counselors problems which should be handled so that they can recover. Rehab counselors in a LGBT rehab will help clients repair relationships with their loved ones, in the case their loved ones disagree with their sexual preference as is often the case. This situation is definitely a common trigger for abusing drugs, and it is an example of a thing that could be handled in rehabilitation. LGBT clients often only want to be accepted in their lives, and rehabilitation will help them accept themselves and create confidence to be able to lead a healthy life without any alcohol and drugs.
