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 viewed as socially unwanted. This is often a very hard or painful way to live, and leads many LGBT people to a lifestyle of drug use to numb these feelings. Somebody who is LGBT might not feel safe in a traditional rehabilitation program amongst people who aren't experiencing the same challenges they are experiencing within their lives. A LGBT rehab offers an environment which can be totally free of judgment, where LGBT clients can be totally safe and comfortable revealing to their peers and rehab counselors issues which must be resolved to enable them to get well. Rehab counselors in a LGBT rehab will help clients repair relationships with their family, in the case their family disagree with their sexual choice as is generally the case. This situation is certainly a frequent trigger for abusing drugs, and is also an example of an issue that can be resolved in rehabilitation. LGBT clients often only want to be accepted in their lives, and rehabilitation will help them accept themselves and create confidence to enable them to lead a healthy life clear of alcohol and drugs.
