LGBT stands for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are facilities which address the unique needs of these clients. People who are LGBT can feel alone, misunderstood, and viewed as socially unwanted. This may be a very hard or painful existence, and leads many LGBT individuals to a life of drug abuse to numb these feelings. Someone who is LGBT may not feel relaxed within a traditional treatment center amongst people who aren't experiencing the same problems they may be experiencing of their lives. A LGBT rehab offers an environment that is free from judgment, where LGBT clients can feel completely comfortable and safe revealing to their peers and treatment counselors issues which must be resolved to enable them to recover. Rehabilitation counselors in a LGBT rehab can help clients repair relationships with their family, in case their family disagree with their sexual choice as is generally the case. This circumstance is an extremely frequent trigger for drug abuse, and it is an example of an issue that can be resolved in treatment. LGBT clients often simply want to be accepted in their lives, and rehab will help them accept themselves and create confidence so that they can lead a healthy life clear of alcohol and drugs.
