LGBT is short for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are facilities which address the unique needs of these clients. Those who are LGBT can feel alone, not understood, and viewed as socially unwanted. This can be a very hard or painful existence, and leads many LGBT individuals to a lifestyle of drug use to alleviate this pain. Someone who is LGBT might not feel at ease inside a conventional rehab center amongst people who aren't experiencing the same challenges they may be experiencing of their lives. A LGBT rehab provides an environment which is totally free of judgment, where LGBT clients can feel totally safe and comfortable divulging to their peers and treatment counselors problems which must be handled so that they can recover. Rehab counselors in a LGBT rehab can help clients fix relationships with their family members, in the event their family disagree with their sexual preference as is often the case. This circumstance is an extremely frequent trigger for drug use, and is a good example of something which can 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 in order to lead a wholesome life without any drugs and alcohol.
