LGBT stands for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are centers which address the particular needs of these clients. Those who are LGBT can feel alone, not understood, and viewed as socially depraved. This is sometimes a very difficult and painful existence, and leads many LGBT people to a life of drug use to numb this pain. Somebody who is LGBT may not feel comfortable inside a traditional treatment program amongst individuals who aren't experiencing the same problems they are experiencing within their lives. A LGBT center provides an environment which can be totally free of judgment, where LGBT clients can be completely comfortable and safe divulging to their peers and rehab counselors issues which have to be handled in order to recover. Treatment counselors in the LGBT rehab can help clients repair relationships with their loved ones, in case their loved ones disagree with their sexual preference as is generally the case. This circumstance is an extremely common trigger for substance abuse, which is a good example of a thing that can be resolved in rehab. LGBT clients often simply want to be accepted within their lives, and rehabilitation will help them accept themselves and build confidence to be able to lead a wholesome life clear of alcohol and drugs.
