LGBT represents lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are centers which address the particular needs of these clients. People who are LGBT can feel alone, misunderstood, and seen as socially depraved. This may be an extremely tough 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 at ease in a conventional treatment program amongst people who aren't experiencing the same problems they are experiencing in their lives. A LGBT center provides an environment which is free from judgment, where LGBT clients can feel completely comfortable and safe revealing to their peers and treatment counselors issues which should be resolved to be able to get well. Rehab counselors within a LGBT rehab will help clients fix relationships with their family, in the case their loved ones disagree with their sexual preference as is often the case. This situation is definitely a frequent trigger for substance abuse, and is an example of a thing that can be resolved in rehab. LGBT clients often just want to be accepted in their lives, and treatment will help them accept themselves and create confidence so that they can lead a healthy life free from drugs and alcohol.
