LGBT stands for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are facilities which address the unique needs of these clients. People who are LGBT can often feel alone, misunderstood, and considered socially depraved. This is sometimes a very difficult or painful existence, and leads many LGBT people to a lifestyle of drug abuse to alleviate these feelings. Someone who is LGBT might not feel relaxed in a conventional rehab facility amongst individuals who aren't experiencing the same problems they may be experiencing in their lives. A LGBT rehab offers an environment which is totally free of judgment, where LGBT clients can feel completely safe and comfortable divulging to their peers and treatment counselors issues which must be handled in order to recover. Treatment counselors in the LGBT rehab can help clients repair relationships with their family, in the case their loved ones disagree with their sexual preference as is often the case. This circumstance is definitely a frequent trigger for drug use, and it is an example of something which would be resolved in rehab. LGBT clients often just want to be accepted within their lives, and rehabilitation will help them accept themselves and build confidence to be able to lead a healthy life free from alcohol and drugs.
