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 feel alone, not understood, and seen as socially depraved. This is often a very hard or painful way to live, and leads many LGBT individuals to a lifestyle of drug use to alleviate this pain. Someone that is LGBT might not feel safe within a traditional rehabilitation center amongst individuals who aren't experiencing the same problems they may be experiencing in their lives. A LGBT facility provides an environment that is free from judgment, where LGBT clients can feel totally comfortable and safe divulging to their peers and rehabilitation counselors problems which should be handled in order to recover. Rehabilitation counselors in a LGBT rehab can help clients repair relationships with their loved ones, in case their loved ones disagree with their sexual choice as is generally the case. This situation is definitely a frequent trigger for substance abuse, and is an example of something which will be handled in rehabilitation. LGBT clients often would like to be accepted within their lives, and rehabilitation will help them accept themselves and build confidence to enable them to lead a healthy life without any alcohol and drugs.
