LGBT means lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are facilities which address the unique needs of these clients. Those who are LGBT can often feel alone, misunderstood, and viewed as socially depraved. This can be a very difficult or painful way to live, and leads many LGBT people to a life of drug use to numb this pain. Somebody who is LGBT might not 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 facility provides an environment that is totally free of judgment, where LGBT clients can be completely comfortable and safe revealing to their peers and rehabilitation counselors problems which have to be resolved so that they can recover. Treatment counselors in the LGBT rehab will help clients repair relationships with their family members, in the event their loved ones disagree with their sexual preference as is generally the case. This situation is definitely a frequent trigger for drug abuse, and it is an example of an issue that can be handled in rehabilitation. LGBT clients often would like 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 drugs and alcohol.
