LGBT is short for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are facilities which address the unique needs of these clients. People who are LGBT can feel alone, not understood, and seen as socially depraved. This is sometimes a quite challenging and painful way to live, and leads many LGBT people to a life of drug use to numb this pain. Someone who is LGBT might not feel safe within a conventional treatment facility amongst individuals who aren't experiencing the same problems they may be experiencing within their lives. A LGBT facility provides an environment that is free from judgment, where LGBT clients can feel completely safe and comfortable revealing to their peers and treatment counselors issues which must be handled in order to recover. Treatment counselors in a LGBT rehab can help clients repair relationships with their family, in the case their family disagree with their sexual choice as is often the case. This circumstance is an extremely common trigger for abusing drugs, and is an example of an issue that will be resolved in treatment. LGBT clients often only want to be accepted within their lives, and rehabilitation will help them accept themselves and create confidence in order to lead a healthy life without any alcohol and drugs.
