LGBT stands for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are facilities which address the unique needs of these clients. People who are LGBT can often feel alone, misunderstood, and considered socially unwanted. This can be an extremely tough and painful existence, and leads many LGBT people to a life of substance abuse to alleviate this pain. Someone who is LGBT may not feel comfortable in a conventional rehabilitation facility amongst folks who aren't experiencing the same problems they are experiencing within their lives. A LGBT facility provides an environment that's free of judgment, where LGBT clients can be totally comfortable and safe divulging to their peers and treatment counselors problems which have to be handled to be able to recover. Rehabilitation counselors in the LGBT rehab can help clients repair relationships with their family, in the event their loved ones disagree with their sexual preference as is generally the case. This situation is an extremely common trigger for substance abuse, and it is a good example of an issue that could be handled in rehab. LGBT clients often only want to be accepted in their lives, and rehabilitation will help them accept themselves and create confidence to be able to lead a healthy life free of alcohol and drugs.
