LGBT stands for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are facilities which address the particular needs of these clients. People who are LGBT can often feel alone, not understood, and viewed as socially unwanted. This is often a quite challenging or painful way to live, and leads many LGBT people to a lifestyle of substance abuse to alleviate this pain. Somebody who is LGBT might not exactly feel comfortable within a conventional treatment facility amongst people who aren't experiencing the same challenges they are experiencing of their lives. A LGBT rehab offers an environment which can be free from judgment, where LGBT clients can be completely comfortable and safe revealing to their peers and rehabilitation counselors issues which need to be resolved in order to get better. Treatment counselors in a LGBT rehab can help clients repair relationships with their family, in the event their loved ones disagree with their sexual choice as is usually the case. This circumstance is certainly a frequent trigger for drug abuse, and is also a good example of something which can be resolved in treatment. LGBT clients often only want to be accepted within their lives, and treatment will help them accept themselves and create confidence to enable them to lead a healthy life without any alcohol and drugs.
