LGBT stands for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are facilities which address the unique needs of these clients. Individuals who are LGBT can feel alone, not understood, and viewed as socially depraved. This may be a very hard and painful way to live, and leads many LGBT individuals to a lifestyle of drug use to numb these feelings. Someone who is LGBT might not exactly feel at ease within a traditional rehab facility amongst people who aren't experiencing the same challenges they are experiencing in their lives. A LGBT facility offers an environment that is free of judgment, where LGBT clients can be totally safe and comfortable revealing to their peers and treatment counselors problems which should be resolved to enable them to get well. Rehab counselors in a LGBT rehab will help clients fix relationships with their family members, in the case their family disagree with their sexual preference as is often the case. This situation is definitely a frequent trigger for substance abuse, and is a good example of a thing that could be resolved in rehabilitation. LGBT clients often only want to be accepted in their lives, and rehabilitation will help them accept themselves and build confidence in order to lead a healthy life free of alcohol and drugs.
