LGBT stands for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are centers which address the unique needs of these clients. Individuals who are LGBT can feel alone, not understood, and seen as socially depraved. This may be a very hard or painful existence, and leads many LGBT people to a lifestyle of drug abuse to numb these feelings. Someone who is LGBT might not feel comfortable in a traditional rehab program amongst people who aren't experiencing the same challenges they are experiencing in their lives. A LGBT facility provides an environment which is free of judgment, where LGBT clients can be completely comfortable and safe divulging to their peers and treatment counselors problems which should be resolved to enable them to recover. Rehabilitation counselors within a LGBT rehab will help clients repair relationships with their family members, in the event that their family disagree with their sexual preference as is generally the case. This situation is certainly a frequent trigger for drug use, which is an example of a thing that will be handled in rehab. LGBT clients often just want to be accepted within their lives, and rehabilitation will help them accept themselves and create confidence so that they can lead a healthy life without any alcohol and drugs.
