LGBT means lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are facilities which address the particular needs of these clients. Individuals who are LGBT can feel alone, misunderstood, and viewed as socially depraved. This is sometimes a very hard or painful existence, and leads many LGBT individuals to a life of drug abuse to numb this pain. Somebody who is LGBT may not feel safe within a traditional treatment center amongst folks who aren't experiencing the same challenges they are experiencing of their lives. A LGBT center provides an environment which is totally free of judgment, where LGBT clients can be totally comfortable and safe divulging to their peers and rehabilitation counselors issues which need to be handled so that they can get better. Rehabilitation counselors in a LGBT rehab can help clients repair relationships with their loved ones, in the event that their loved ones disagree with their sexual choice as is generally the case. This situation is an extremely common trigger for abusing drugs, and is also a good example of a thing that could be handled in rehab. LGBT clients often only want to be accepted in their lives, and rehabilitation will help them accept themselves and create confidence in order to lead a healthy life free of alcohol and drugs.
