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 seen as socially depraved. This is often a very difficult or painful way to live, and leads many LGBT individuals to a lifestyle of drug abuse to alleviate this pain. Somebody that is LGBT might not feel comfortable within a conventional rehab facility amongst people who aren't experiencing the same challenges they may be experiencing in their lives. A LGBT facility provides an environment that is free from judgment, where LGBT clients can be completely safe and comfortable divulging to their peers and treatment counselors problems which have to be resolved in order to recover. Rehab counselors in a LGBT rehab will help clients repair relationships with their family members, in the event that their family disagree with their sexual preference as is usually the case. This situation is an extremely common trigger for abusing drugs, which is an example of something which will be resolved in treatment. LGBT clients often just want to be accepted in their lives, and rehabilitation will help them accept themselves and build confidence so that they can lead a healthy life without any alcohol and drugs.
