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 feel alone, not understood, and viewed as socially depraved. This may be an extremely tough or painful way to live, and leads many LGBT individuals to a lifestyle of drug use to numb this pain. Somebody who is LGBT may not feel relaxed in a traditional rehab facility amongst individuals who aren't experiencing the same problems they may be experiencing of their lives. A LGBT rehab provides an environment that is totally free of judgment, where LGBT clients can be totally safe and comfortable revealing to their peers and treatment counselors issues which must be handled in order to get better. Rehabilitation counselors in a LGBT rehab will help clients fix relationships with their loved ones, in the event that their family disagree with their sexual preference as is usually the case. This circumstance is an extremely common trigger for abusing drugs, which is an example of an issue that can be resolved in rehab. LGBT clients often only want to be accepted in their lives, and treatment will help them accept themselves and build confidence so that they can lead a wholesome life free from alcohol and drugs.
