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, misunderstood, and considered socially unwanted. This is often a very difficult or painful way to live, and leads many LGBT individuals to a life of substance abuse to alleviate these feelings. Someone who is LGBT might not feel comfortable within a conventional treatment center amongst individuals who aren't experiencing the same challenges they are experiencing within their lives. A LGBT rehab offers an environment that is free of judgment, where LGBT clients can feel completely comfortable and safe divulging to their peers and treatment counselors issues which have to be resolved to be able to recover. Treatment counselors in the LGBT rehab will help clients fix relationships with their family members, in the event that their loved ones disagree with their sexual preference as is usually the case. This situation is an extremely frequent trigger for substance abuse, and it is an example of something which will be resolved in rehab. LGBT clients often only want to be accepted in their lives, and rehabilitation will help them accept themselves and produce confidence to enable them to lead a wholesome life free from alcohol and drugs.
