LGBT stands for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are facilities which address the unique needs of these clients. Those who are LGBT can often feel alone, misunderstood, and viewed as socially depraved. This may be a quite challenging or painful way to live, and leads many LGBT people to a life of substance abuse to alleviate these feelings. Somebody who is LGBT might not feel at ease in a traditional rehabilitation center amongst individuals who aren't experiencing the same problems they are experiencing of their lives. A LGBT facility offers an environment which can be free of judgment, where LGBT clients can be totally safe and comfortable divulging to their peers and treatment counselors issues which need to be resolved so that they can get better. Treatment counselors within a LGBT rehab will help clients fix relationships with their family, in the case their family disagree with their sexual choice as is often the case. This situation is an extremely common trigger for substance abuse, and is also an illustration of something could be resolved in treatment. LGBT clients often just want to be accepted in their lives, and treatment will help them accept themselves and create confidence to enable them to lead a wholesome life free from alcohol and drugs.
