LGBT stands for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are facilities which address the particular needs of these clients. People who are LGBT can feel alone, misunderstood, and considered socially depraved. This is often a very hard and painful existence, and leads many LGBT people to a lifestyle of substance abuse to alleviate these feelings. Someone who is LGBT might not exactly feel comfortable in a traditional treatment facility amongst people who aren't experiencing the same challenges they may be experiencing of their lives. A LGBT center offers an environment which is totally free of judgment, where LGBT clients can feel completely comfortable and safe revealing to their peers and treatment counselors issues which have to be resolved to enable them to recover. Rehab counselors in a LGBT rehab can help clients fix relationships with their family members, in the event that their family disagree with their sexual choice as is often the case. This circumstance is an extremely frequent trigger for substance abuse, and is also a good example of an issue that could be handled in rehab. LGBT clients often would like to be accepted in their lives, and rehabilitation will help them accept themselves and build confidence to enable them to lead a wholesome life clear of drugs and alcohol.
