LGBT means lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are facilities which address the particular needs of these clients. Those who are LGBT can feel alone, misunderstood, and seen as socially depraved. This may be a very hard or painful way to live, 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 facility amongst individuals who aren't experiencing the same problems they may be experiencing within their lives. A LGBT facility provides an environment that's free from judgment, where LGBT clients can feel totally comfortable and safe revealing to their peers and treatment counselors issues which should be handled to enable them to get well. Rehabilitation counselors within a LGBT rehab can help clients repair relationships with their family, in the event their loved ones disagree with their sexual preference as is generally the case. This circumstance is an extremely frequent trigger for substance abuse, and is also an illustration of an issue that will be resolved in rehab. LGBT clients often simply want to be accepted in their lives, and rehab will help them accept themselves and build confidence to enable them to lead a wholesome life without any drugs and alcohol.
