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 often feel alone, not understood, and seen as socially unwanted. This is often a very hard or painful way to live, and leads many LGBT individuals to a life of drug abuse to alleviate these feelings. Somebody who is LGBT may not feel relaxed in a traditional rehabilitation program amongst people who aren't experiencing the same problems they are experiencing of their lives. A LGBT center offers an environment that is free of judgment, where LGBT clients can be totally comfortable and safe revealing to their peers and treatment counselors issues which should be resolved so that they can get better. Rehabilitation counselors in a LGBT rehab can help clients repair relationships with their loved ones, in case their family disagree with their sexual choice as is generally the case. This situation is definitely a common trigger for substance abuse, which is an example of something which can be resolved in treatment. LGBT clients often would like to be accepted within their lives, and treatment will help them accept themselves and create confidence to be able to lead a healthy life free of drugs and alcohol.
