LGBT means lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are facilities which address the particular needs of these clients. Those who are LGBT can often feel alone, not understood, and seen as socially unwanted. This is often an extremely tough or 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 facility amongst individuals who aren't experiencing the same challenges they are experiencing within their lives. A LGBT facility offers an environment that is free from judgment, where LGBT clients can be completely safe and comfortable divulging to their peers and rehab counselors problems which have to be handled so that they can recover. Rehab counselors in a LGBT rehab can help clients repair relationships with their family members, in the case their family disagree with their sexual preference as is often the case. This situation is an extremely frequent trigger for substance abuse, which is an example of an issue that will be handled in rehab. LGBT clients often would like to be accepted in their lives, and rehabilitation will help them accept themselves and produce confidence so that they can lead a wholesome life without any alcohol and drugs.
