LGBT represents lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are facilities which address the particular needs of these clients. Individuals who are LGBT can often feel alone, misunderstood, and seen as socially unwanted. This may be an extremely tough and painful existence, and leads many LGBT individuals to a life of substance abuse to alleviate this pain. Someone who is LGBT may not feel safe within a traditional rehab center amongst folks who aren't experiencing the same challenges they may be experiencing of their lives. A LGBT facility offers an environment that is free from judgment, where LGBT clients can be completely comfortable and safe revealing to their peers and rehabilitation counselors problems which must be handled so that they can get better. Rehabilitation counselors in a LGBT rehab will help clients repair relationships with their loved ones, in the case their family disagree with their sexual preference as is often the case. This circumstance is certainly a common trigger for abusing drugs, and is an example of an issue that will be handled in rehabilitation. LGBT clients often just want to be accepted within their lives, and treatment will help them accept themselves and build confidence to enable them to lead a healthy life free of drugs and alcohol.
