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, misunderstood, and considered socially depraved. This can be a very difficult and painful existence, and leads many LGBT people to a life of substance abuse to numb these feelings. Somebody who is LGBT may not feel relaxed in a traditional rehab facility amongst folks who aren't experiencing the same challenges they are experiencing in their lives. A LGBT rehab offers an environment that is totally free of judgment, where LGBT clients can be completely comfortable and safe divulging to their peers and rehab counselors issues which must be handled in order to get well. Treatment counselors in a LGBT rehab will help clients repair relationships with their loved ones, in the event that their loved ones disagree with their sexual choice as is often the case. This situation is an extremely common trigger for drug abuse, and it is a good example of a thing that can be handled in rehab. LGBT clients often simply want to be accepted within their lives, and rehabilitation will help them accept themselves and create confidence in order to lead a wholesome life free of drugs and alcohol.
