LGBT is short for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are centers which address the particular needs of these clients. Individuals who are LGBT can often feel alone, misunderstood, and considered socially depraved. This is often a very difficult and painful way to live, and leads many LGBT people to a lifestyle of drug abuse to alleviate this pain. Someone who is LGBT may not feel comfortable in a traditional treatment center amongst people who aren't experiencing the same challenges they are experiencing of their lives. A LGBT rehab provides an environment that's free of judgment, where LGBT clients can be totally comfortable and safe revealing to their peers and rehab counselors issues which need to be handled so that they can get better. Rehabilitation counselors in a LGBT rehab can help clients fix relationships with their family, in the case their loved ones disagree with their sexual preference as is usually the case. This circumstance is certainly a common trigger for abusing drugs, which is a good example of something will be handled in rehab. LGBT clients often would like to be accepted in their lives, and rehabilitation will help them accept themselves and build confidence so that they can lead a healthy life free of alcohol and drugs.
