LGBT stands for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are facilities which address the unique needs of these clients. People who are LGBT can feel alone, misunderstood, and viewed as socially depraved. This can be a very difficult or painful existence, and leads many LGBT individuals to a lifestyle of drug abuse to alleviate this pain. Somebody who is LGBT might not feel safe in a traditional rehabilitation facility amongst people who aren't experiencing the same problems they may be experiencing of their lives. A LGBT facility provides an environment which can be free of judgment, where LGBT clients can be completely safe and comfortable divulging to their peers and rehabilitation counselors problems which need to be resolved to be able to get well. Treatment counselors in the LGBT rehab can help clients fix relationships with their loved ones, in case their family disagree with their sexual preference as is often the case. This circumstance is an extremely common trigger for substance abuse, and is also an example of a thing that can be resolved in treatment. LGBT clients often only want to be accepted within their lives, and rehabilitation will help them accept themselves and build confidence to be able to lead a wholesome life clear of drugs and alcohol.
