LGBT means lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are facilities which address the particular needs of these clients. People who are LGBT can often feel alone, misunderstood, and seen as socially depraved. This is often a very hard and painful existence, and leads many LGBT individuals to a life of drug abuse to alleviate these feelings. Someone who is LGBT might not feel at ease in a traditional treatment facility amongst people who aren't experiencing the same problems they may be experiencing of their lives. A LGBT facility offers an environment which can be free from judgment, where LGBT clients can be totally comfortable and safe divulging to their peers and treatment counselors issues which need to be handled to be able to get well. Rehab counselors in a LGBT rehab will help clients repair relationships with their loved ones, in the event that their family disagree with their sexual preference as is generally the case. This circumstance is an extremely frequent trigger for abusing drugs, and is an example of an issue that would be resolved in rehab. LGBT clients often only want to be accepted in their lives, and rehab will help them accept themselves and build confidence to be able to lead a healthy life free from alcohol and drugs.
