LGBT is short for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are facilities which address the particular needs of these clients. Individuals who are LGBT can often feel alone, misunderstood, and considered socially depraved. This may be a very hard or painful way to live, and leads many LGBT individuals to a life of drug abuse to alleviate this pain. Somebody who is LGBT might not feel relaxed inside a conventional treatment program amongst people who aren't experiencing the same challenges they are experiencing within their lives. A LGBT facility provides an environment that's free from judgment, where LGBT clients can feel completely comfortable and safe revealing to their peers and treatment counselors problems which need to be resolved to be able to recover. Treatment counselors in a LGBT rehab will help clients fix relationships with their family, in the case their loved ones disagree with their sexual preference as is often the case. This situation is an extremely frequent trigger for drug abuse, and is a good example of an issue that can be resolved in rehabilitation. LGBT clients often only want to be accepted within their lives, and rehab will help them accept themselves and produce confidence to enable them to lead a wholesome life free from drugs and alcohol.
