LGBT is short for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are centers which address the particular needs of these clients. People who are LGBT can feel alone, misunderstood, and seen as socially depraved. This is often a quite challenging or painful existence, and leads many LGBT people to a life of drug use to alleviate these feelings. Someone who is LGBT might not exactly feel at ease within a traditional rehabilitation center amongst people who aren't experiencing the same problems they are experiencing in their lives. A LGBT rehab provides an environment that is free of judgment, where LGBT clients can be completely safe and comfortable divulging to their peers and treatment counselors problems which need to be resolved so that they can recover. Treatment counselors in the LGBT rehab will help clients mend relationships with their family members, in case their family disagree with their sexual choice as is often the case. This situation is an extremely frequent trigger for drug abuse, which is an example of something which can be resolved in rehab. LGBT clients often simply want to be accepted within their lives, and rehabilitation will help them accept themselves and create confidence in order to lead a wholesome life without any drugs and alcohol.
