LGBT is short for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are facilities which address the unique needs of these clients. Individuals who are LGBT can often feel alone, not understood, and viewed as socially depraved. This is often a quite challenging and painful way to live, and leads many LGBT people to a life of drug abuse to alleviate this pain. Somebody who is LGBT might not exactly feel comfortable within a traditional rehabilitation center amongst individuals who aren't experiencing the same challenges they are experiencing within their lives. A LGBT facility provides an environment which can be totally free of judgment, where LGBT clients can be totally safe and comfortable revealing to their peers and rehab counselors issues which have to be resolved to enable them to get well. Rehabilitation counselors in a LGBT rehab will help clients fix relationships with their loved ones, in the event their loved ones disagree with their sexual choice as is usually the case. This situation is an extremely frequent trigger for abusing drugs, and is an illustration of something which could be resolved in rehabilitation. LGBT clients often simply want to be accepted in their lives, and rehabilitation will help them accept themselves and build confidence to be able to lead a wholesome life free from alcohol and drugs.
