LGBT means lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are centers which address the particular needs of these clients. Those who are LGBT can often feel alone, misunderstood, and seen as socially unwanted. This can be a quite challenging and painful way to live, and leads many LGBT individuals to a lifestyle of drug use to numb this pain. Somebody who is LGBT may not feel comfortable within a conventional rehab facility amongst people who aren't experiencing the same challenges they may be experiencing of their lives. A LGBT facility offers an environment which is totally free of judgment, where LGBT clients can feel totally comfortable and safe divulging to their peers and treatment counselors issues which must be handled to be able to recover. Rehabilitation counselors within a LGBT rehab can help clients mend relationships with their family, in the case their family disagree with their sexual preference as is usually the case. This circumstance is an extremely frequent trigger for substance abuse, and is a good example of a thing that would be handled in treatment. LGBT clients often just want to be accepted within their lives, and treatment will help them accept themselves and build confidence to be able to lead a wholesome life free of alcohol and drugs.
