LGBT means lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are facilities which address the particular needs of these clients. People who are LGBT can often feel alone, misunderstood, and seen as socially depraved. This can be a quite challenging and painful existence, and leads many LGBT people to a lifestyle of substance abuse to alleviate these feelings. Somebody that is LGBT may not feel safe within a traditional rehab program amongst people who aren't experiencing the same problems they may be experiencing of their lives. A LGBT rehab offers an environment that is free of judgment, where LGBT clients can be completely safe and comfortable revealing to their peers and rehab counselors problems which have to be resolved to be able to recover. Rehabilitation counselors in the LGBT rehab will help clients mend relationships with their family members, in case their family 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 something which will be handled in rehab. LGBT clients often just want to be accepted in their lives, and rehabilitation will help them accept themselves and create confidence to be able to lead a wholesome life clear of drugs and alcohol.
