LGBT means lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are facilities which address the particular needs of these clients. Those who are LGBT can often feel alone, not understood, and viewed as socially depraved. This can be a very difficult or painful existence, and leads many LGBT people to a life of drug abuse to alleviate this pain. Somebody who is LGBT might not feel at ease within a conventional rehab facility amongst folks who aren't experiencing the same problems they may be experiencing in their lives. A LGBT facility provides an environment that's free of judgment, where LGBT clients can feel completely safe and comfortable divulging to their peers and rehabilitation counselors issues which need to be handled in order to recover. Rehab counselors in a LGBT rehab can help clients repair relationships with their loved ones, in case their family disagree with their sexual preference as is generally the case. This situation is an extremely frequent trigger for drug use, and it is an example of an issue that could be resolved in treatment. LGBT clients often only want to be accepted within their lives, and rehabilitation will help them accept themselves and create confidence to enable them to lead a healthy life free of drugs and alcohol.
