LGBT is short for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are centers which address the particular needs of these clients. Individuals who are LGBT can feel alone, misunderstood, and considered socially depraved. This may be a very difficult or painful existence, and leads many LGBT people to a lifestyle of substance abuse to numb these feelings. Someone who is LGBT might not feel comfortable in a traditional rehabilitation center amongst people who aren't experiencing the same problems they may be experiencing within their lives. A LGBT center offers an environment that is free of judgment, where LGBT clients can be completely comfortable and safe divulging to their peers and treatment counselors problems which must be handled to enable them to get well. Rehabilitation counselors within a LGBT rehab can help clients fix relationships with their family, in the case their loved ones disagree with their sexual choice as is often the case. This situation is definitely a common trigger for abusing drugs, and is an example of a thing that will be handled in treatment. 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 wholesome life free from drugs and alcohol.
