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 often feel alone, not understood, and seen as socially depraved. This can be a very hard and painful way to live, and leads many LGBT individuals to a life of drug abuse to numb these feelings. Someone who is LGBT might not feel comfortable inside a traditional rehab facility amongst people who aren't experiencing the same problems they may be experiencing within their lives. A LGBT facility provides an environment which can be free from judgment, where LGBT clients can be completely safe and comfortable divulging to their peers and rehabilitation counselors issues which need to be resolved to enable them to get better. Rehabilitation counselors in a LGBT rehab can help clients repair relationships with their family members, in the case their loved ones disagree with their sexual choice as is generally the case. This situation is an extremely frequent trigger for abusing drugs, and is a good example of a thing that could be resolved in rehabilitation. LGBT clients often only want to be accepted within their lives, and treatment will help them accept themselves and build confidence so that they can lead a healthy life free from alcohol and drugs.
