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, misunderstood, and viewed as socially depraved. This may be a very difficult and painful existence, and leads many LGBT people to a lifestyle of drug abuse to alleviate this pain. Someone that is LGBT might not exactly feel safe within a conventional rehabilitation center amongst people who aren't experiencing the same challenges they are experiencing of their lives. A LGBT center offers an environment which is free of judgment, where LGBT clients can feel totally safe and comfortable divulging to their peers and rehabilitation counselors problems which should be resolved so that they can recover. Rehab counselors in the LGBT rehab will help clients repair relationships with their loved ones, in the event their family disagree with their sexual preference as is generally the case. This situation is an extremely common trigger for drug use, which is an example of something would be handled in rehab. LGBT clients often only want to be accepted within their lives, and treatment will help them accept themselves and build confidence to be able to lead a wholesome life free from alcohol and drugs.
