LGBT stands for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are facilities which address the particular needs of these clients. Those who are LGBT can feel alone, not understood, and considered socially depraved. This is sometimes an extremely tough and painful way to live, and leads many LGBT individuals to a life of substance abuse to alleviate this pain. Someone who is LGBT might not exactly feel comfortable within a traditional rehabilitation center amongst people who aren't experiencing the same challenges they may be experiencing in their lives. A LGBT facility provides an environment which is free of judgment, where LGBT clients can be completely comfortable and safe divulging to their peers and rehab counselors issues which need to be handled to be able to recover. Rehab counselors in a LGBT rehab will help clients repair relationships with their loved ones, in the event their family disagree with their sexual choice as is often the case. This situation is definitely a common trigger for drug abuse, and is a good example of a thing that can be resolved in rehab. LGBT clients often just want to be accepted in their lives, and treatment will help them accept themselves and produce confidence so that they can lead a healthy life clear of alcohol and drugs.
