LGBT stands for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are facilities which address the particular needs of these clients. Those who are LGBT can often feel alone, misunderstood, and seen as socially depraved. This may be a very hard and painful existence, and leads many LGBT people to a lifestyle of drug use to alleviate these feelings. Someone that is LGBT might not exactly feel comfortable within a traditional rehab facility amongst individuals who aren't experiencing the same challenges they are experiencing within their lives. A LGBT facility provides an environment that is free of judgment, where LGBT clients can feel completely comfortable and safe revealing to their peers and rehabilitation counselors problems which need to be handled in order to recover. Treatment counselors in a LGBT rehab can help clients mend relationships with their family, in the event their loved ones disagree with their sexual preference as is generally the case. This situation is certainly a common trigger for drug use, and it is an example of something which could be resolved in rehabilitation. LGBT clients often would like to be accepted in their lives, and treatment will help them accept themselves and create confidence to be able to lead a healthy life free from alcohol and drugs.
