LGBT is short for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are facilities which address the unique needs of these clients. People who are LGBT can often feel alone, misunderstood, and seen as socially unwanted. This may be a quite challenging and painful existence, and leads many LGBT people to a lifestyle of substance abuse to alleviate these feelings. Someone who is LGBT might not exactly feel comfortable within a traditional treatment program amongst people who aren't experiencing the same challenges they are experiencing in their lives. A LGBT facility provides an environment that is free from judgment, where LGBT clients can be completely comfortable and safe divulging to their peers and rehab counselors problems which should be resolved so that they can get well. Rehabilitation counselors in a LGBT rehab will help clients fix relationships with their family members, in case 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 an illustration of a thing that can be handled in treatment. LGBT clients often simply want to be accepted within their lives, and rehabilitation will help them accept themselves and build confidence to enable them to lead a healthy life without any alcohol and drugs.
