LGBT stands for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are facilities which address the unique needs of these clients. Those who are LGBT can often feel alone, misunderstood, and seen as socially depraved. This is often an extremely tough or painful existence, and leads many LGBT individuals to a life of drug abuse to alleviate these feelings. Somebody who is LGBT might not feel safe in a conventional treatment center amongst people who aren't experiencing the same challenges they may be experiencing within their lives. A LGBT facility provides an environment which is free of judgment, where LGBT clients can be totally comfortable and safe revealing to their peers and treatment counselors issues which need to be resolved in order to get well. Rehabilitation counselors in a LGBT rehab will help clients repair relationships with their family, in the event that their family disagree with their sexual preference as is usually the case. This circumstance is an extremely frequent trigger for drug abuse, and is also a good example of a thing that can be resolved in treatment. LGBT clients often only want to be accepted in their lives, and rehabilitation will help them accept themselves and create confidence to enable them to lead a healthy life free of drugs and alcohol.
