LGBT represents lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are centers which address the unique needs of these clients. Those who are LGBT can feel alone, misunderstood, and viewed as socially depraved. This is often a very hard and painful existence, and leads many LGBT individuals to a life of drug abuse to alleviate this pain. Someone who is LGBT may not feel at ease in a conventional rehab center amongst people who aren't experiencing the same problems they are experiencing in their lives. A LGBT facility provides an environment that is free of judgment, where LGBT clients can be completely safe and comfortable revealing to their peers and treatment counselors issues which must be resolved to be able to get better. Rehab counselors in a LGBT rehab will help clients mend relationships with their family, in the case their loved ones disagree with their sexual preference as is generally the case. This circumstance is definitely a common trigger for abusing drugs, and is an illustration of a thing that would be resolved in treatment. LGBT clients often just want to be accepted in their lives, and rehabilitation will help them accept themselves and build confidence in order to lead a healthy life free of alcohol and drugs.
