LGBT represents lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are facilities which address the unique needs of these clients. People who are LGBT can often feel alone, misunderstood, and viewed as socially depraved. This may be a very difficult or painful existence, and leads many LGBT people to a life of substance abuse to alleviate this pain. Someone who is LGBT might not exactly feel safe in a traditional treatment program amongst people who aren't experiencing the same problems they are experiencing within their lives. A LGBT rehab offers an environment which can be free from judgment, where LGBT clients can be totally safe and comfortable divulging to their peers and rehabilitation counselors problems which should be handled so that they can recover. Treatment counselors in a LGBT rehab will help clients repair relationships with their family, in case their family disagree with their sexual preference as is often the case. This circumstance is definitely a common trigger for drug abuse, which is a good example of something could be resolved in rehab. LGBT clients often only want to be accepted in their lives, and rehab will help them accept themselves and build confidence to be able to lead a healthy life without any drugs and alcohol.
