LGBT means lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are facilities which address the particular needs of these clients. Individuals who are LGBT can often feel alone, not understood, and considered socially unwanted. This is often a very difficult and painful existence, and leads many LGBT people to a lifestyle of drug abuse to alleviate these feelings. Somebody who is LGBT might not feel safe in a conventional rehab program amongst individuals who aren't experiencing the same problems they may be experiencing in their lives. A LGBT facility provides an environment that is free from judgment, where LGBT clients can be completely safe and comfortable divulging to their peers and treatment counselors issues which must be resolved so that they can recover. Treatment counselors in a LGBT rehab will help clients repair relationships with their loved ones, in the event their family disagree with their sexual choice as is often the case. This circumstance is an extremely frequent trigger for drug abuse, which is an example of an issue that can be handled in rehabilitation. LGBT clients often only want to be accepted within their lives, and rehab will help them accept themselves and create confidence to be able to lead a healthy life free of drugs and alcohol.
