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 viewed as socially depraved. This is sometimes a very hard or painful way to live, and leads many LGBT individuals to a lifestyle of substance abuse to alleviate these feelings. Someone who is LGBT might not feel comfortable inside a traditional treatment facility amongst folks who aren't experiencing the same problems they may be experiencing in their lives. A LGBT rehab provides an environment that is free of judgment, where LGBT clients can be completely safe and comfortable revealing to their peers and treatment counselors problems which have to be resolved to enable them to get well. Rehab counselors in the LGBT rehab will help clients mend relationships with their loved ones, in the case their family disagree with their sexual preference as is generally the case. This situation is an extremely frequent trigger for drug abuse, which is an illustration of an issue that will be handled in rehab. LGBT clients often simply want to be accepted within their lives, and rehab will help them accept themselves and create confidence so that they can lead a healthy life free of drugs and alcohol.
