LGBT is short for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are centers which address the particular needs of these clients. Those who are LGBT can feel alone, misunderstood, and considered socially unwanted. This can be a very hard and painful way to live, and leads many LGBT individuals to a lifestyle of substance abuse to numb these feelings. Somebody who is LGBT may not feel relaxed in a traditional rehabilitation facility amongst folks who aren't experiencing the same challenges they are experiencing of their lives. A LGBT center offers an environment that is free from judgment, where LGBT clients can feel completely safe and comfortable divulging to their peers and rehab counselors issues which need to be resolved so that they can get better. Rehab counselors in a LGBT rehab will help clients fix relationships with their family, in case their loved ones disagree with their sexual choice as is usually the case. This circumstance is an extremely common trigger for abusing drugs, which is a good example of an issue that would be handled in rehabilitation. LGBT clients often only want to be accepted within their lives, and rehabilitation will help them accept themselves and create confidence to be able to lead a wholesome life free from drugs and alcohol.
