LGBT is short for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are facilities which address the unique needs of these clients. Individuals who are LGBT can feel alone, misunderstood, and considered socially depraved. This is often a very hard and painful way to live, and leads many LGBT individuals to a life of drug abuse to alleviate these feelings. Somebody who is LGBT may not feel relaxed inside a traditional rehabilitation facility amongst people who aren't experiencing the same challenges they may be experiencing within their lives. A LGBT rehab offers an environment that is free of judgment, where LGBT clients can be completely safe and comfortable divulging to their peers and rehabilitation counselors problems which need to be handled so that they can get better. Rehab counselors in a LGBT rehab can help clients fix relationships with their family, in the case their family disagree with their sexual choice as is usually the case. This situation is an extremely frequent trigger for drug use, and is also an example of a thing that can be handled in rehabilitation. LGBT clients often just want to be accepted within their lives, and rehab will help them accept themselves and build confidence to be able to lead a wholesome life free from drugs and alcohol.
