LGBT represents lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are centers which address the unique needs of these clients. Those who are LGBT can feel alone, misunderstood, and seen as socially unwanted. This can be a very difficult or painful way to live, and leads many LGBT people to a lifestyle of drug use to alleviate this pain. Someone that is LGBT might not exactly feel relaxed within a conventional rehab facility amongst individuals who aren't experiencing the same problems they may be experiencing within their lives. A LGBT center provides an environment that is free of judgment, where LGBT clients can be completely safe and comfortable revealing to their peers and rehabilitation counselors problems which have to be handled in order to recover. Rehabilitation counselors in a LGBT rehab can help clients mend relationships with their family, in the event that their family disagree with their sexual preference as is generally the case. This circumstance is an extremely common trigger for substance abuse, which is a good example of something which will be handled in treatment. LGBT clients often just want to be accepted within their lives, and rehab will help them accept themselves and build confidence to be able to lead a healthy life free from alcohol and drugs.
