LGBT means lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are centers which address the unique needs of these clients. Those who are LGBT can feel alone, misunderstood, and viewed as socially depraved. This may be a very hard and painful way to live, and leads many LGBT people to a lifestyle of substance abuse to numb these feelings. Somebody who is LGBT might not feel comfortable inside a traditional treatment center amongst individuals who aren't experiencing the same problems they are experiencing in their lives. A LGBT facility provides an environment that is free of judgment, where LGBT clients can feel completely comfortable and safe divulging to their peers and treatment counselors problems which have to be resolved so that they can get better. Treatment counselors in a LGBT rehab will help clients repair relationships with their family, in the event that their loved ones disagree with their sexual choice as is generally the case. This situation is certainly a frequent trigger for drug abuse, and it is a good example of an issue that would be handled in rehab. LGBT clients often would like to be accepted within their lives, and rehab will help them accept themselves and build confidence in order to lead a healthy life without any alcohol and drugs.
