LGBT means lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are centers which address the particular needs of these clients. Those who are LGBT can often feel alone, not understood, and viewed as socially unwanted. This is often a quite challenging or painful existence, and leads many LGBT individuals to a life of drug abuse to numb this pain. Someone who is LGBT might not feel safe in a traditional rehabilitation facility amongst folks who aren't experiencing the same challenges they may be experiencing within their lives. A LGBT rehab offers an environment that is free of judgment, where LGBT clients can be completely safe and comfortable divulging to their peers and rehabilitation counselors issues which must be handled to be able to get well. Treatment counselors in a LGBT rehab can help clients mend relationships with their loved ones, in the event their loved ones disagree with their sexual choice as is often the case. This situation is an extremely frequent trigger for abusing drugs, and it is an example of something will be resolved in treatment. LGBT clients often only want to be accepted within their lives, and rehabilitation will help them accept themselves and produce confidence so that they can lead a wholesome life free of drugs and alcohol.
