LGBT is short for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are facilities which address the particular needs of these clients. Those who are LGBT can often feel alone, misunderstood, and viewed as socially depraved. This is often a very hard or painful existence, and leads many LGBT individuals to a life of drug use to alleviate these feelings. Somebody who is LGBT might not exactly feel relaxed in a traditional rehab facility amongst people who aren't experiencing the same challenges they may be experiencing in their lives. A LGBT facility provides an environment which is free of judgment, where LGBT clients can be completely safe and comfortable divulging to their peers and rehab counselors issues which should be resolved to be able to get better. Rehabilitation counselors in a LGBT rehab will help clients repair relationships with their loved ones, in case their family disagree with their sexual choice as is generally the case. This circumstance is certainly a common trigger for drug use, and is also a good example of an issue that will be handled in rehab. LGBT clients often just want to be accepted in their lives, and rehab will help them accept themselves and build confidence to be able to lead a wholesome life clear of drugs and alcohol.
