LGBT means 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 viewed as socially unwanted. This may be a quite challenging and painful way to live, and leads many LGBT individuals to a lifestyle of drug use to numb these feelings. Someone who is LGBT may not feel at ease within a traditional 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 from judgment, where LGBT clients can feel totally safe and comfortable divulging to their peers and rehabilitation counselors issues which should be handled to enable them to recover. Treatment counselors in the LGBT rehab will help clients mend relationships with their family, in case their family disagree with their sexual choice as is usually the case. This situation is an extremely common trigger for abusing drugs, and is an illustration of an issue that could be handled in rehab. LGBT clients often just want to be accepted in their lives, and rehabilitation will help them accept themselves and build confidence so that they can lead a wholesome life clear of alcohol and drugs.
