LGBT stands for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are facilities which address the unique needs of these clients. Individuals who are LGBT can feel alone, not understood, and viewed as socially unwanted. This is sometimes a very hard and painful way to live, and leads many LGBT people to a lifestyle of substance abuse to numb these feelings. Somebody who is LGBT might not feel safe inside a traditional treatment program amongst people who aren't experiencing the same problems they may be experiencing within their lives. A LGBT facility provides an environment that is totally free of judgment, where LGBT clients can feel totally safe and comfortable revealing to their peers and rehab counselors problems which need to be resolved in order to get better. Rehab counselors in a LGBT rehab can help clients repair relationships with their family, in the event that their family disagree with their sexual preference as is usually the case. This circumstance is an extremely frequent trigger for drug use, which is an illustration of something would be resolved in treatment. LGBT clients often only want to be accepted within their lives, and rehabilitation will help them accept themselves and produce confidence so that they can lead a healthy life without any alcohol and drugs.
