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 seen as socially depraved. This can be a very hard and painful existence, and leads many LGBT people to a life of substance abuse to alleviate these feelings. Someone who is LGBT might not feel safe within a traditional treatment center amongst folks who aren't experiencing the same problems they are experiencing of their lives. A LGBT center offers an environment that's free from judgment, where LGBT clients can be completely safe and comfortable divulging to their peers and rehabilitation counselors problems which must be handled to enable them to recover. Treatment counselors in a LGBT rehab can help clients mend 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 frequent trigger for drug abuse, and is an example of an issue that could be handled in treatment. LGBT clients often only want to be accepted within their lives, and rehabilitation will help them accept themselves and build confidence to enable them to lead a healthy life clear of alcohol and drugs.
