LGBT stands for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are facilities which address the particular needs of these clients. People who are LGBT can often feel alone, not understood, and considered socially unwanted. This is often an extremely tough or painful way to live, and leads many LGBT individuals to a lifestyle of substance abuse to numb these feelings. Someone who is LGBT might not exactly feel at ease in a traditional rehab center amongst people who aren't experiencing the same problems they are experiencing within their lives. A LGBT rehab provides an environment which can be free from judgment, where LGBT clients can be completely safe and comfortable divulging to their peers and rehabilitation counselors issues which must be handled in order to get well. Rehabilitation counselors within a LGBT rehab can help clients mend relationships with their loved ones, in case their family disagree with their sexual choice as is usually the case. This situation is an extremely common trigger for drug use, which is an example of a thing that will be handled in rehab. LGBT clients often simply want to be accepted within their lives, and treatment will help them accept themselves and create confidence in order to lead a wholesome life free of drugs and alcohol.
