LGBT means lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are centers which address the unique needs of these clients. People who are LGBT can feel alone, not understood, and considered socially depraved. This can be a very difficult and painful way to live, and leads many LGBT individuals to a lifestyle of drug use to numb these feelings. Someone who is LGBT may not feel safe inside a traditional rehab center amongst individuals who aren't experiencing the same problems they may be experiencing in their lives. A LGBT rehab offers an environment that is free from judgment, where LGBT clients can be completely safe and comfortable divulging to their peers and rehabilitation counselors issues which have to be resolved to enable them to get well. Rehabilitation counselors in a LGBT rehab will help clients mend relationships with their family, in the event their loved ones disagree with their sexual choice as is usually the case. This circumstance is an extremely frequent trigger for substance abuse, and is also a good example of something which would be handled in treatment. LGBT clients often simply want to be accepted in their lives, and rehab will help them accept themselves and create confidence so that they can lead a healthy life without any alcohol and drugs.
