LGBT means lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are facilities which address the unique needs of these clients. Those who are LGBT can feel alone, misunderstood, and viewed as socially depraved. This is sometimes a quite challenging or painful existence, and leads many LGBT individuals to a lifestyle of substance abuse to numb this pain. Somebody who is LGBT might not exactly feel safe inside a traditional rehab facility amongst individuals who aren't experiencing the same problems they are experiencing in their lives. A LGBT rehab provides an environment which is free of judgment, where LGBT clients can feel completely safe and comfortable revealing to their peers and treatment counselors problems which must be handled in order to recover. Rehabilitation counselors in the LGBT rehab will help clients mend relationships with their family, in the event their family disagree with their sexual preference as is generally the case. This situation is certainly a frequent trigger for drug use, which is a good example of something would be resolved in treatment. LGBT clients often only want to be accepted in their lives, and treatment will help them accept themselves and build confidence to be able to lead a wholesome life without any drugs and alcohol.
