LGBT stands for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are facilities which address the unique needs of these clients. Those who are LGBT can feel alone, misunderstood, and considered socially unwanted. This is sometimes an extremely tough or painful way to live, and leads many LGBT people to a life of drug abuse to numb these feelings. Someone who is LGBT might not feel safe within a traditional rehab facility amongst people who aren't experiencing the same problems they are experiencing in their lives. A LGBT center provides an environment which is totally free of judgment, where LGBT clients can feel totally safe and comfortable revealing to their peers and treatment counselors problems which need to be handled in order to get well. Rehabilitation counselors in a LGBT rehab can help clients repair relationships with their family members, in the case their family disagree with their sexual preference as is generally the case. This situation is an extremely common trigger for substance abuse, and it is an example of a thing that would be resolved in rehabilitation. LGBT clients often simply want to be accepted within their lives, and rehab will help them accept themselves and create confidence in order to lead a healthy life without any drugs and alcohol.
