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 feel alone, not understood, and seen as socially depraved. This is sometimes a quite challenging and painful way to live, and leads many LGBT people to a lifestyle of drug use to alleviate these feelings. Someone who is LGBT might not exactly feel at ease in a traditional treatment center amongst individuals who aren't experiencing the same problems they may be experiencing within their lives. A LGBT program offers an environment which can be free from judgment, where LGBT clients can feel totally safe and comfortable revealing to their peers and treatment counselors issues which need to be handled to be able to recover. Rehabilitation counselors in a LGBT rehab will help clients repair relationships with their loved ones, in the event that 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 also an illustration of something which can be handled in rehabilitation. LGBT clients often simply want to be accepted within their lives, and rehab will help them accept themselves and build confidence in order to lead a healthy life clear of alcohol and drugs.
