LGBT means lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are facilities which address the unique needs of these clients. Those who are LGBT can feel alone, misunderstood, and viewed as socially depraved. This is sometimes an extremely tough or painful existence, and leads many LGBT people to a lifestyle of substance abuse to alleviate this pain. Somebody who is LGBT may not feel at ease within a conventional rehab center amongst folks who aren't experiencing the same problems they may be experiencing within their lives. A LGBT rehab provides an environment that is free from judgment, where LGBT clients can feel totally comfortable and safe revealing to their peers and treatment counselors problems which need to be resolved so that they can get well. Rehab counselors in a LGBT rehab can help clients fix relationships with their family members, in case their loved ones disagree with their sexual choice as is often the case. This situation is an extremely common trigger for abusing drugs, and is also an example of something which can be handled in rehab. LGBT clients often simply want to be accepted within their lives, and rehabilitation will help them accept themselves and create confidence to enable them to lead a healthy life clear of alcohol and drugs.
