LGBT represents lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are centers which address the unique needs of these clients. Those who are LGBT can feel alone, not understood, and considered socially depraved. This is sometimes an extremely tough or painful existence, and leads many LGBT people to a life of substance abuse to alleviate these feelings. Someone who is LGBT may not feel safe within a traditional treatment center amongst individuals who aren't experiencing the same problems they may be experiencing within their lives. A LGBT rehab provides an environment that's free of judgment, where LGBT clients can feel completely comfortable and safe revealing to their peers and rehab counselors problems which need to be resolved so that they can recover. Rehabilitation counselors in a LGBT rehab will help clients mend relationships with their loved ones, in the event that their loved ones disagree with their sexual preference as is often the case. This circumstance is definitely a common trigger for substance abuse, and it is a good example of an issue that would be resolved in rehabilitation. LGBT clients often just want to be accepted within their lives, and rehab will help them accept themselves and build confidence to be able to lead a wholesome life without any alcohol and drugs.
