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 considered socially unwanted. This can be a very hard and painful way to live, and leads many LGBT individuals to a life of drug use to alleviate these feelings. Somebody who is LGBT might not exactly feel relaxed in a conventional rehabilitation facility amongst people who aren't experiencing the same challenges they may be experiencing in their lives. A LGBT program offers an environment that is free of judgment, where LGBT clients can be totally safe and comfortable revealing to their peers and treatment counselors problems which have to be handled so that they can get better. Rehabilitation counselors in a LGBT rehab will help clients mend relationships with their loved ones, in the case their loved ones disagree with their sexual preference as is generally the case. This circumstance is an extremely frequent trigger for drug abuse, and is a good example of something which would be handled in rehab. LGBT clients often just want to be accepted in their lives, and rehab will help them accept themselves and create confidence to be able to lead a healthy life clear of drugs and alcohol.
