LGBT means lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are facilities which address the particular needs of these clients. People who are LGBT can feel alone, not understood, and considered socially depraved. This is sometimes a very difficult or painful way to live, and leads many LGBT individuals to a life of drug use to numb this pain. Someone who is LGBT might not feel comfortable in a conventional rehabilitation center amongst people who aren't experiencing the same problems they may be experiencing of their lives. A LGBT rehab provides an environment which can be free of judgment, where LGBT clients can feel totally comfortable and safe revealing to their peers and rehab counselors problems which need to be handled in order to recover. Treatment counselors in the LGBT rehab will help clients mend relationships with their loved ones, in the event that their loved ones disagree with their sexual preference as is often the case. This situation is an extremely common trigger for drug abuse, and is a good example of an issue that can be resolved in treatment. LGBT clients often just want to be accepted in their lives, and rehabilitation will help them accept themselves and create confidence so that they can lead a healthy life free from drugs and alcohol.
