LGBT stands for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are centers which address the particular needs of these clients. Those who are LGBT can often feel alone, not understood, and considered socially depraved. This is often a very hard and painful way to live, and leads many LGBT people to a life of substance abuse to alleviate this pain. Somebody who is LGBT might not exactly feel comfortable in a traditional treatment facility amongst people who aren't experiencing the same challenges they may be experiencing of their lives. A LGBT rehab offers an environment which is free from judgment, where LGBT clients can be completely safe and comfortable revealing to their peers and rehabilitation counselors issues which must be resolved so that they can get well. Rehab counselors in a LGBT rehab can help clients repair relationships with their loved ones, in the event their family disagree with their sexual preference as is often the case. This circumstance is an extremely frequent trigger for drug abuse, which is an example of a thing that would be resolved in treatment. LGBT clients often just want to be accepted in their lives, and rehabilitation will help them accept themselves and build confidence to be able to lead a healthy life clear of drugs and alcohol.
