LGBT is short for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are facilities which address the unique needs of these clients. Those who are LGBT can often feel alone, misunderstood, and seen as socially unwanted. This is sometimes a quite challenging and painful existence, and leads many LGBT individuals to a lifestyle of drug abuse to numb this pain. Someone that is LGBT might not exactly feel safe in a conventional rehab center amongst people who aren't experiencing the same problems they may be experiencing in their lives. A LGBT facility provides an environment which is totally free of judgment, where LGBT clients can be completely comfortable and safe divulging to their peers and rehabilitation counselors problems which must be handled in order to recover. Rehabilitation counselors in the LGBT rehab will help clients repair relationships with their loved ones, in the case their loved ones disagree with their sexual preference as is generally the case. This situation is an extremely common trigger for abusing drugs, and it is an example of something will 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 to enable them to lead a wholesome life clear of drugs and alcohol.
