LGBT stands for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are facilities which address the particular needs of these clients. Individuals who are LGBT can often feel alone, misunderstood, and viewed as socially depraved. This may be a very difficult and painful way to live, and leads many LGBT people to a life of drug abuse to numb this pain. Someone who is LGBT might not exactly feel at ease within a conventional rehab center amongst individuals who aren't experiencing the same challenges they may be experiencing within their lives. A LGBT center offers an environment which is free of judgment, where LGBT clients can feel completely safe and comfortable divulging to their peers and rehab counselors problems which should be resolved so that they can recover. Rehab counselors in a LGBT rehab will help clients repair relationships with their loved ones, in the event their loved ones disagree with their sexual choice as is generally the case. This circumstance is an extremely common trigger for abusing drugs, which is an illustration of an issue that will be handled in rehab. LGBT clients often just want to be accepted within their lives, and rehab will help them accept themselves and create confidence to enable them to lead a wholesome life clear of alcohol and drugs.
