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, misunderstood, and considered socially unwanted. This is sometimes a very difficult and painful way to live, and leads many LGBT people to a lifestyle of substance abuse to alleviate these feelings. Somebody who is LGBT might not feel safe inside a conventional treatment facility amongst individuals who aren't experiencing the same challenges they may be experiencing in their lives. A LGBT rehab provides an environment that is free of judgment, where LGBT clients can feel totally comfortable and safe revealing to their peers and rehabilitation counselors problems which must be resolved to enable them to recover. Rehabilitation counselors within a LGBT rehab will help clients fix relationships with their loved ones, in case their loved ones disagree with their sexual preference as is generally the case. This situation is definitely a common trigger for abusing drugs, and is also an example of something which will be handled in rehabilitation. LGBT clients often only want to be accepted within their lives, and treatment will help them accept themselves and produce confidence in order to lead a healthy life clear of alcohol and drugs.
