LGBT stands for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are facilities which address the particular needs of these clients. Individuals who are LGBT can often feel alone, misunderstood, and seen as socially unwanted. This may be a very difficult and painful way to live, and leads many LGBT people to a lifestyle of drug abuse to alleviate these feelings. Someone who is LGBT may not feel at ease in a conventional rehabilitation program amongst people who aren't experiencing the same problems they are experiencing of their lives. A LGBT rehab offers an environment that is totally free of judgment, where LGBT clients can feel totally safe and comfortable divulging to their peers and rehabilitation counselors issues which need to be resolved so that they can get well. Rehabilitation counselors in the LGBT rehab can help clients repair relationships with their loved ones, in the case their family 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 resolved in rehab. LGBT clients often just want to be accepted within their lives, and rehabilitation will help them accept themselves and produce confidence to be able to lead a wholesome life clear of drugs and alcohol.
