LGBT stands for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are facilities which address the unique needs of these clients. Individuals who are LGBT can feel alone, misunderstood, and viewed as socially depraved. This can be a very difficult or painful existence, and leads many LGBT individuals to a life of substance abuse to numb this pain. Someone who is LGBT might not feel relaxed inside a conventional rehabilitation facility amongst people who aren't experiencing the same challenges they may be experiencing in their lives. A LGBT facility provides an environment which is free of judgment, where LGBT clients can feel completely comfortable and safe divulging to their peers and rehab counselors problems which have to be resolved to enable them to recover. Treatment counselors within a LGBT rehab can help clients mend relationships with their family members, in the event that their family disagree with their sexual preference as is generally the case. This circumstance is an extremely frequent trigger for drug use, which is an example of something would be resolved in rehabilitation. LGBT clients often just want to be accepted in their lives, and treatment will help them accept themselves and produce confidence to enable them to lead a healthy life without any drugs and alcohol.
