LGBT represents 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 unwanted. This is sometimes a very difficult or painful way to live, and leads many LGBT individuals to a lifestyle of drug use to numb these feelings. Somebody who is LGBT might not exactly feel at ease in a conventional rehabilitation facility amongst people who aren't experiencing the same problems they may be experiencing within their lives. A LGBT rehab offers an environment which is free from judgment, where LGBT clients can be completely safe and comfortable revealing to their peers and treatment counselors issues which need to be resolved to be able to get better. Rehabilitation counselors within a LGBT rehab will help clients repair relationships with their family, in the event their family disagree with their sexual preference as is usually the case. This situation is an extremely common trigger for substance abuse, and it is a good example of something which would be handled in rehabilitation. LGBT clients often only want to be accepted within their lives, and rehabilitation will help them accept themselves and create confidence to be able to lead a healthy life without any alcohol and drugs.
