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 seen as socially unwanted. This can be a very difficult and painful existence, and leads many LGBT people to a life of drug abuse to alleviate these feelings. Somebody who is LGBT may not feel relaxed in a traditional rehabilitation program amongst individuals who aren't experiencing the same problems they may be experiencing within their lives. A LGBT program offers an environment that's free of judgment, where LGBT clients can feel totally comfortable and safe revealing to their peers and rehab counselors issues which have to be resolved to enable them to get better. Rehab counselors in the LGBT rehab will help clients repair relationships with their family, in the event their loved ones disagree with their sexual choice as is often the case. This circumstance is an extremely frequent trigger for drug use, and is also an example of an issue that can be handled in treatment. LGBT clients often would like to be accepted in their lives, and rehabilitation will help them accept themselves and build confidence so that they can lead a healthy life without any alcohol and drugs.
