LGBT means lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are facilities which address the unique needs of these clients. People who are LGBT can often feel alone, not understood, and viewed as socially depraved. This may be a very difficult and painful existence, and leads many LGBT people to a life of substance abuse to alleviate these feelings. Somebody who is LGBT may not feel safe in a conventional rehab center amongst individuals who aren't experiencing the same challenges they may be experiencing of their lives. A LGBT rehab provides an environment which can be free from judgment, where LGBT clients can feel totally safe and comfortable revealing to their peers and treatment counselors issues which need to be resolved to be able to recover. Treatment counselors in a LGBT rehab can help clients mend relationships with their loved ones, in the event their loved ones disagree with their sexual choice as is generally the case. This situation is definitely a 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 of alcohol and drugs.
