LGBT is short for 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 is sometimes an extremely tough and painful existence, and leads many LGBT individuals to a life of drug use to alleviate this pain. Somebody who is LGBT might not feel relaxed inside a traditional treatment program amongst people who aren't experiencing the same problems they may be experiencing of their lives. A LGBT facility provides an environment that is free of judgment, where LGBT clients can be totally comfortable and safe revealing to their peers and rehab counselors problems which should be resolved in order to get better. Rehab counselors in the LGBT rehab will help clients mend relationships with their family members, in the event their family disagree with their sexual choice as is often the case. This circumstance is an extremely frequent trigger for abusing drugs, which is an example of a thing that would be resolved in treatment. LGBT clients often simply want to be accepted in their lives, and rehabilitation will help them accept themselves and build confidence to enable them to lead a wholesome life free from drugs and alcohol.
