LGBT means lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are facilities which address the unique needs of these clients. Those who are LGBT can feel alone, misunderstood, and seen as socially depraved. This may be a quite challenging and painful existence, and leads many LGBT people to a lifestyle of drug use to alleviate this pain. Someone who 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 provides an environment that is totally free of judgment, where LGBT clients can feel completely comfortable and safe divulging to their peers and treatment counselors issues which have to be handled to enable them to get well. Rehabilitation counselors in a LGBT rehab can help clients mend relationships with their family members, in case their loved ones disagree with their sexual preference as is generally the case. This situation is an extremely common trigger for substance abuse, and it is a good example of something which could be handled in treatment. LGBT clients often only want to be accepted within their lives, and rehab will help them accept themselves and build confidence so that they can lead a wholesome life clear of drugs and alcohol.
