LGBT stands for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are facilities which address the particular needs of these clients. Individuals who are LGBT can feel alone, not understood, and viewed as socially unwanted. This is sometimes a very hard or painful way to live, and leads many LGBT individuals to a life of substance abuse to numb this pain. Someone that is LGBT might not feel safe in a conventional rehab facility amongst folks who aren't experiencing the same challenges they are experiencing in their lives. A LGBT center provides an environment that is totally free of judgment, where LGBT clients can be completely safe and comfortable revealing to their peers and rehabilitation counselors problems which should be resolved in order to get better. Rehabilitation counselors within a LGBT rehab can help clients repair relationships with their family, in the case their family disagree with their sexual choice as is usually the case. This circumstance is an extremely common trigger for drug abuse, and is also a good example of an issue that would be handled in treatment. LGBT clients often just 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.
