LGBT stands 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 viewed as socially depraved. This may be a quite challenging or painful way to live, and leads many LGBT people to a life of substance abuse to numb this pain. Somebody who is LGBT may not feel relaxed in a traditional treatment facility amongst individuals who aren't experiencing the same problems they are experiencing within their lives. A LGBT facility provides an environment that is free of judgment, where LGBT clients can be totally comfortable and safe divulging to their peers and rehab counselors issues which must be resolved to be able to get better. Rehabilitation counselors within a LGBT rehab can help clients fix relationships with their family, in the event that their family disagree with their sexual choice as is often the case. This situation is certainly a frequent trigger for substance abuse, and is an example of a thing that could be resolved in treatment. LGBT clients often just want 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 alcohol and drugs.
