LGBT stands for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are facilities which address the particular needs of these clients. People who are LGBT can feel alone, misunderstood, and viewed as socially unwanted. This is sometimes a very hard or painful way to live, and leads many LGBT people to a life of drug use to numb these feelings. Someone who is LGBT may not feel at ease inside a traditional rehabilitation program amongst individuals who aren't experiencing the same problems they are experiencing of their lives. A LGBT center offers an environment which is free from judgment, where LGBT clients can be completely safe and comfortable divulging to their peers and rehab counselors problems which need to be resolved to enable them to get well. Treatment counselors within a LGBT rehab will help clients repair relationships with their family, in the case their loved ones disagree with their sexual preference as is generally the case. This circumstance is an extremely common trigger for drug abuse, and is an illustration of something would be resolved in rehab. LGBT clients often simply want to be accepted in their lives, and rehab will help them accept themselves and create confidence to be able to lead a healthy life clear of alcohol and drugs.
