LGBT means lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are facilities which address the unique needs of these clients. People who are LGBT can often feel alone, not understood, and considered socially unwanted. This may be an extremely tough or painful way to live, and leads many LGBT individuals to a lifestyle of substance abuse to alleviate this pain. Somebody who is LGBT may not feel at ease within a traditional rehab facility amongst individuals who aren't experiencing the same challenges they are experiencing within their lives. A LGBT facility offers an environment that's free from judgment, where LGBT clients can feel totally safe and comfortable divulging to their peers and treatment counselors problems which must be handled in order to recover. Rehabilitation counselors in a LGBT rehab can help clients repair relationships with their family, in case their family disagree with their sexual choice as is often the case. This situation is an extremely frequent trigger for drug use, and it is a good example of something which will be resolved in rehabilitation. LGBT clients often would like to be accepted within their lives, and rehab will help them accept themselves and build confidence so that they can lead a wholesome life clear of drugs and alcohol.
