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 considered socially unwanted. This is often a very hard or painful way to live, and leads many LGBT individuals to a life of drug use to numb this pain. Someone that is LGBT might not feel safe in a traditional treatment center amongst people who aren't experiencing the same problems they may be experiencing in their lives. A LGBT facility offers an environment that is totally free of judgment, where LGBT clients can feel totally comfortable and safe revealing to their peers and treatment counselors problems which have to be handled in order to get well. Rehab counselors within a LGBT rehab will help clients mend relationships with their family, in the case their family disagree with their sexual choice as is usually the case. This situation is certainly a common trigger for substance abuse, and is also a good example of something which can be resolved in treatment. LGBT clients often would like to be accepted in their lives, and treatment will help them accept themselves and produce confidence in order to lead a healthy life free of drugs and alcohol.
