LGBT stands for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are facilities which address the unique needs of these clients. Individuals who are LGBT can often feel alone, misunderstood, and considered socially unwanted. This can be a very difficult and painful way to live, and leads many LGBT individuals to a lifestyle of substance abuse to numb this pain. Someone who is LGBT might not feel relaxed in a traditional rehabilitation program amongst people who aren't experiencing the same problems they may be experiencing within their lives. A LGBT rehab provides an environment which is free from judgment, where LGBT clients can feel completely comfortable and safe revealing to their peers and rehab counselors problems which should be handled to enable them to get well. Rehab counselors in the LGBT rehab can help clients mend relationships with their family members, in case their loved ones disagree with their sexual choice as is generally the case. This situation is definitely a frequent trigger for substance abuse, which is a good example of a thing that would be resolved in rehab. LGBT clients often simply want to be accepted within their lives, and treatment will help them accept themselves and create confidence so that they can lead a healthy life free from alcohol and drugs.
