LGBT stands for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are facilities which address the particular needs of these clients. Those who are LGBT can often feel alone, misunderstood, and seen as socially unwanted. This is often a very hard and painful way to live, and leads many LGBT people to a life of substance abuse to alleviate this pain. Someone who is LGBT might not feel at ease inside a conventional rehabilitation center amongst individuals who aren't experiencing the same challenges they may be experiencing of their lives. A LGBT facility provides an environment which is free of judgment, where LGBT clients can be totally comfortable and safe divulging to their peers and rehab counselors problems which have to be resolved to enable them to recover. Treatment counselors in a LGBT rehab can help clients fix relationships with their family members, in the case their family disagree with their sexual preference as is generally the case. This circumstance is certainly a common trigger for abusing drugs, and it is a good example of an issue that can 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 to be able to lead a wholesome life free of alcohol and drugs.
