LGBT means lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are facilities which address the particular needs of these clients. Individuals who are LGBT can often feel alone, not understood, and viewed as socially depraved. This can be a quite challenging or painful way to live, and leads many LGBT individuals to a lifestyle of drug abuse to numb this pain. Somebody who is LGBT may not feel comfortable inside a conventional rehabilitation facility amongst people who aren't experiencing the same challenges they may be experiencing of their lives. A LGBT rehab provides an environment that is free from judgment, where LGBT clients can feel completely safe and comfortable divulging to their peers and treatment counselors issues which should be handled to be able to get better. Rehabilitation counselors in a LGBT rehab will help clients mend relationships with their family members, in the event their family disagree with their sexual choice as is usually the case. This circumstance is an extremely common trigger for substance abuse, and is also a good example of something will be handled in treatment. LGBT clients often would like to be accepted within their lives, and rehabilitation will help them accept themselves and create confidence to enable them to lead a healthy life free from alcohol and drugs.
