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, not understood, and viewed as socially depraved. This is sometimes a very hard or painful way to live, and leads many LGBT individuals to a life of substance abuse to numb these feelings. Someone who is LGBT might not feel safe inside a conventional treatment center amongst folks who aren't experiencing the same challenges they may be experiencing of their lives. A LGBT rehab provides an environment that's totally free of judgment, where LGBT clients can feel completely comfortable and safe revealing to their peers and rehabilitation counselors issues which need to be resolved to be able to recover. Rehabilitation counselors in a LGBT rehab will help clients repair relationships with their family, in the case their family disagree with their sexual preference as is generally the case. This situation is an extremely common trigger for drug use, and is also an example of an issue that would be handled in rehab. LGBT clients often would like to be accepted in their lives, and treatment will help them accept themselves and create confidence to be able to lead a wholesome life free of alcohol and drugs.
