LGBT stands for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are facilities which address the particular needs of these clients. People who are LGBT can often feel alone, misunderstood, and seen as socially depraved. This can be a very hard or painful way to live, and leads many LGBT people to a life of substance abuse to numb these feelings. Somebody who is LGBT may not feel safe in a conventional treatment facility amongst folks who aren't experiencing the same problems they are experiencing in their lives. A LGBT rehab provides an environment which can be totally free of judgment, where LGBT clients can be totally safe and comfortable revealing to their peers and treatment counselors problems which have to be handled so that they can get better. Treatment counselors in a LGBT rehab will help clients repair relationships with their family members, in case their family disagree with their sexual preference as is generally the case. This circumstance is an extremely common trigger for drug abuse, and it is an example of something which could be handled in rehabilitation. LGBT clients often simply want to be accepted within their lives, and rehabilitation will help them accept themselves and build confidence to enable them to lead a wholesome life without any alcohol and drugs.
