LGBT stands for 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 considered socially depraved. This can be a quite challenging or painful existence, and leads many LGBT people to a lifestyle of drug abuse to numb this pain. Someone who is LGBT may not feel safe within a conventional rehabilitation facility amongst people who aren't experiencing the same problems they may be experiencing within their lives. A LGBT facility provides an environment which can be free of judgment, where LGBT clients can feel completely safe and comfortable divulging to their peers and rehabilitation counselors problems which should be handled to enable them to get well. Rehab counselors in a LGBT rehab can help clients fix relationships with their family, in the event that their loved ones disagree with their sexual choice as is often the case. This situation is an extremely common trigger for drug abuse, which is an illustration of something which will be resolved in rehabilitation. LGBT clients often would like to be accepted within their lives, and treatment will help them accept themselves and build confidence to enable them to lead a wholesome life free of alcohol and drugs.
