LGBT is short for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are facilities which address the particular needs of these clients. Those who are LGBT can feel alone, not understood, and seen as socially unwanted. This is sometimes a quite challenging and painful existence, and leads many LGBT people to a life of drug use to alleviate these feelings. Someone who is LGBT might not exactly feel at ease within a traditional treatment program amongst individuals who aren't experiencing the same problems they are experiencing of their lives. A LGBT rehab offers an environment which is free from judgment, where LGBT clients can be totally comfortable and safe revealing to their peers and treatment counselors problems which should be handled so that they can recover. Rehab counselors in a LGBT rehab will help clients mend relationships with their family, in the event that their loved ones disagree with their sexual choice as is often the case. This situation is an extremely frequent trigger for abusing drugs, which is a good example of something can be resolved in rehab. LGBT clients often only want to be accepted within their lives, and rehabilitation will help them accept themselves and create confidence so that they can lead a wholesome life clear of drugs and alcohol.
