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, misunderstood, and considered socially depraved. This may be a very difficult or painful existence, and leads many LGBT individuals to a lifestyle of drug abuse to numb this pain. Somebody who is LGBT may not feel safe inside a conventional rehab center amongst folks who aren't experiencing the same problems they are experiencing in their lives. A LGBT program offers an environment that is free of judgment, where LGBT clients can be completely safe and comfortable divulging to their peers and treatment counselors problems which must be handled in order to get better. Rehab counselors in a LGBT rehab can help clients fix relationships with their family members, in case their family disagree with their sexual choice as is usually the case. This situation is definitely a common trigger for substance abuse, which is a good example of a thing that can be handled in rehabilitation. LGBT clients often would like to be accepted in their lives, and rehabilitation will help them accept themselves and create confidence so that they can lead a healthy life without any drugs and alcohol.
