LGBT is short for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are centers which address the unique needs of these clients. People who are LGBT can often 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 drug abuse to alleviate these feelings. Someone who is LGBT may not feel safe in a traditional rehabilitation facility amongst people who aren't experiencing the same problems they are experiencing of their lives. A LGBT center offers an environment that is free of judgment, where LGBT clients can be completely safe and comfortable revealing to their peers and treatment counselors issues which should be resolved to be able to get better. Rehab counselors in a LGBT rehab will help clients fix relationships with their family members, in case their loved ones disagree with their sexual choice as is generally the case. This circumstance is definitely a frequent trigger for substance abuse, and is a good example of an issue that can be resolved in rehab. LGBT clients often just want to be accepted within their lives, and rehabilitation will help them accept themselves and build confidence in order to lead a healthy life free from drugs and alcohol.
