LGBT stands for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are facilities which address the particular needs of these clients. Those who are LGBT can feel alone, misunderstood, and viewed as socially unwanted. This is often a quite challenging and painful way to live, and leads many LGBT individuals to a life of drug abuse to alleviate this pain. Somebody who is LGBT may not feel comfortable inside a conventional treatment center amongst individuals who aren't experiencing the same challenges they may be experiencing within their lives. A LGBT center provides an environment which is free from judgment, where LGBT clients can feel totally safe and comfortable revealing to their peers and rehab counselors problems which should be resolved so that they can recover. Rehabilitation counselors in the LGBT rehab can help clients mend relationships with their family, in the case their family disagree with their sexual choice as is generally the case. This situation is an extremely common trigger for substance abuse, and is also an example of a thing that could be handled in treatment. LGBT clients often only want to be accepted within their lives, and rehabilitation will help them accept themselves and build confidence so that they can lead a wholesome life free of drugs and alcohol.
