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, not understood, and viewed as socially depraved. This is sometimes a quite challenging or painful way to live, and leads many LGBT individuals to a life of drug use to numb this pain. Someone who is LGBT might not exactly feel relaxed in a conventional rehab facility amongst individuals who aren't experiencing the same problems they may be experiencing within their lives. A LGBT rehab offers an environment which can be free from judgment, where LGBT clients can feel completely comfortable and safe revealing to their peers and treatment counselors issues which have to be resolved in order to get better. Rehabilitation counselors in the LGBT rehab will help clients mend relationships with their family, in the event that their family disagree with their sexual choice as is often the case. This situation is certainly a frequent trigger for abusing drugs, which is a good example of something would be resolved in rehabilitation. LGBT clients often only want to be accepted in their lives, and rehab will help them accept themselves and build confidence so that they can lead a healthy life clear of drugs and alcohol.
