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 feel alone, not understood, and seen as socially unwanted. This is often an extremely tough or painful way to live, and leads many LGBT people to a lifestyle of drug abuse to numb this pain. Someone who is LGBT may not feel at ease in a conventional rehabilitation center amongst folks who aren't experiencing the same challenges they are experiencing of their lives. A LGBT facility provides an environment that is free from judgment, where LGBT clients can be completely comfortable and safe divulging to their peers and rehabilitation counselors problems which need to be resolved to be able to get better. Rehab counselors in a LGBT rehab will help clients fix relationships with their family, in the event that their family disagree with their sexual choice as is generally the case. This circumstance is an extremely common trigger for abusing drugs, and it is a good example of a thing that would be resolved in rehabilitation. LGBT clients often would like to be accepted in their lives, and treatment will help them accept themselves and build confidence in order to lead a healthy life without any drugs and alcohol.
