LGBT means lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are facilities which address the particular needs of these clients. People who are LGBT can feel alone, not understood, and seen as socially depraved. This is often an extremely tough and painful existence, and leads many LGBT people to a lifestyle of drug use to alleviate these feelings. Someone who is LGBT may not feel safe within a traditional rehabilitation program amongst individuals who aren't experiencing the same challenges they may be experiencing within their lives. A LGBT facility provides an environment that is free from judgment, where LGBT clients can be completely comfortable and safe revealing to their peers and treatment counselors problems which need to be resolved to enable them to recover. Rehab counselors in a LGBT rehab will help clients mend relationships with their family, in the event that their family disagree with their sexual choice as is generally the case. This situation is certainly a frequent trigger for substance abuse, and it is a good example of something which can be resolved in rehab. LGBT clients often simply want to be accepted within their lives, and treatment will help them accept themselves and produce confidence to be able to lead a wholesome life without any alcohol and drugs.
