LGBT means lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are facilities which address the unique needs of these clients. People who are LGBT can often feel alone, misunderstood, and considered socially unwanted. This is often a very hard and painful existence, and leads many LGBT people to a lifestyle of substance abuse to numb this pain. Somebody who is LGBT might not exactly feel comfortable within a traditional treatment center amongst individuals who aren't experiencing the same problems they are experiencing in their lives. A LGBT facility offers an environment that is totally free of judgment, where LGBT clients can be completely comfortable and safe divulging to their peers and rehabilitation counselors issues which need to be resolved in order to get better. Rehabilitation counselors in the LGBT rehab can help clients mend relationships with their loved ones, in the case their loved ones disagree with their sexual choice as is generally the case. This circumstance is definitely a common trigger for abusing drugs, and it is an example of an issue that will be handled 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 healthy life free of drugs and alcohol.
