LGBT stands for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are facilities which address the particular needs of these clients. Individuals who are LGBT can feel alone, not understood, and seen as socially depraved. This is often a quite challenging and painful way to live, and leads many LGBT people to a lifestyle of substance abuse to alleviate this pain. Somebody who is LGBT might not feel comfortable in a traditional rehab facility amongst people who aren't experiencing the same challenges they may be experiencing of their lives. A LGBT rehab provides an environment which can be totally free of judgment, where LGBT clients can be completely comfortable and safe divulging to their peers and rehab counselors issues which need to be handled to be able to get well. Rehabilitation counselors in a LGBT rehab will help clients mend relationships with their family, in the event that their loved ones disagree with their sexual preference as is usually the case. This circumstance is an extremely frequent trigger for substance abuse, and it is an example of something will be handled in treatment. LGBT clients often simply want to be accepted in their lives, and treatment will help them accept themselves and create confidence to enable them to lead a wholesome life free of drugs and alcohol.
