LGBT stands for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are facilities which address the unique needs of these clients. Individuals who are LGBT can often feel alone, misunderstood, and considered socially depraved. This is sometimes a very difficult or painful way to live, and leads many LGBT people to a lifestyle of drug abuse to numb this pain. Someone who is LGBT might not feel safe in a conventional rehabilitation facility amongst individuals who aren't experiencing the same challenges they are experiencing in their lives. A LGBT rehab offers an environment which can be totally free of judgment, where LGBT clients can be completely safe and comfortable revealing to their peers and rehab counselors issues which have to be handled to be able to recover. Rehab counselors in a LGBT rehab will help clients repair relationships with their family members, in case their loved ones disagree with their sexual choice as is usually the case. This circumstance is an extremely common trigger for substance abuse, and it is an example of an issue that would be resolved in rehabilitation. LGBT clients often just want to be accepted in their lives, and rehab will help them accept themselves and create confidence to enable them to lead a wholesome life clear of drugs and alcohol.
