LGBT is short for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are centers which address the unique needs of these clients. People who are LGBT can often feel alone, misunderstood, and viewed as socially unwanted. This is sometimes a very hard and painful way to live, and leads many LGBT people to a life of drug abuse to numb this pain. Someone that is LGBT might not exactly feel comfortable inside a conventional rehab facility amongst people who aren't experiencing the same problems they are experiencing of their lives. A LGBT center provides an environment which can be totally free of judgment, where LGBT clients can be completely comfortable and safe revealing to their peers and rehabilitation counselors issues which have to be resolved to enable them to get well. Treatment counselors in a LGBT rehab can help clients mend relationships with their family members, in case their loved ones disagree with their sexual preference as is often the case. This situation is an extremely common trigger for drug use, and it is a good example of something which can be resolved in treatment. LGBT clients often only want to be accepted in their lives, and rehab will help them accept themselves and build confidence to be able to lead a wholesome life without any drugs and alcohol.
