LGBT stands for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are facilities which address the particular needs of these clients. People who are LGBT can feel alone, misunderstood, and seen as socially depraved. This is sometimes a very hard and painful way to live, and leads many LGBT people to a lifestyle of substance abuse to alleviate this pain. Somebody who is LGBT might not exactly feel safe in a traditional treatment program amongst folks who aren't experiencing the same challenges they are experiencing in their lives. A LGBT rehab offers an environment that's free from judgment, where LGBT clients can be completely comfortable and safe divulging to their peers and rehab counselors issues which have to be handled in order to get better. Rehabilitation counselors in a LGBT rehab can help clients repair relationships with their family members, in case their family disagree with their sexual choice as is generally the case. This situation is definitely a common trigger for drug abuse, and it is an example of a thing that can be handled in rehabilitation. LGBT clients often just want to be accepted within their lives, and treatment will help them accept themselves and build confidence to be able to lead a wholesome life free of alcohol and drugs.
