LGBT stands for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are facilities which address the unique needs of these clients. People who are LGBT can often feel alone, misunderstood, and seen as socially depraved. This may be an extremely tough or painful way to live, and leads many LGBT people to a lifestyle of drug abuse to alleviate this pain. Somebody who is LGBT may not feel at ease within a conventional treatment facility amongst people who aren't experiencing the same problems they are experiencing within their lives. A LGBT facility offers an environment that is free of judgment, where LGBT clients can be completely safe and comfortable revealing to their peers and treatment counselors issues which need to be resolved so that they can get better. Treatment counselors in a LGBT rehab will help clients mend relationships with their loved ones, in case their family disagree with their sexual preference as is generally the case. This situation is an extremely common trigger for substance abuse, and it is an illustration of something which can be resolved in rehab. LGBT clients often only want to be accepted in their lives, and treatment will help them accept themselves and produce confidence so that they can lead a wholesome life free of alcohol and drugs.
