LGBT is short for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are facilities which address the unique needs of these clients. Those who are LGBT can often feel alone, not understood, and seen as socially depraved. This may be an extremely tough or painful way to live, and leads many LGBT individuals to a lifestyle of drug abuse to alleviate this pain. Somebody who is LGBT may not feel at ease in a traditional rehab facility amongst individuals who aren't experiencing the same problems they may be experiencing in their lives. A LGBT rehab provides an environment that's free from judgment, where LGBT clients can be totally safe and comfortable divulging to their peers and rehabilitation counselors problems which must be resolved to be able to get well. Rehab counselors within a LGBT rehab will help clients repair relationships with their family, in the event that their family disagree with their sexual preference as is often the case. This circumstance is definitely a common trigger for drug abuse, and is also a good example of something which would be resolved in rehabilitation. LGBT clients often would like to be accepted in their lives, and treatment will help them accept themselves and create confidence so that they can lead a healthy life free of alcohol and drugs.
