LGBT stands for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are facilities which address the particular needs of these clients. Those who are LGBT can feel alone, not understood, and considered socially unwanted. This can be a very difficult and painful way to live, and leads many LGBT people to a lifestyle of drug use to numb this pain. Somebody who is LGBT might not exactly feel safe in a traditional rehabilitation facility amongst individuals who aren't experiencing the same problems they are experiencing in their lives. A LGBT facility provides an environment which is free of judgment, where LGBT clients can feel totally safe and comfortable divulging to their peers and treatment counselors problems which have to be resolved so that they can recover. Treatment counselors in a LGBT rehab will help clients mend relationships with their family, in the event that their family disagree with their sexual preference as is generally the case. This circumstance is an extremely frequent trigger for drug abuse, and it is an example of something which could be resolved in rehab. LGBT clients often simply want to be accepted in their lives, and rehabilitation will help them accept themselves and build confidence to be able to lead a wholesome life without any alcohol and drugs.
