LGBT means lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are centers which address the unique needs of these clients. Individuals who are LGBT can feel alone, misunderstood, and considered socially unwanted. This is sometimes a very difficult and painful way to live, and leads many LGBT individuals to a lifestyle of drug abuse to alleviate these feelings. Someone who is LGBT may not feel safe within a traditional rehab center amongst individuals who aren't experiencing the same challenges they may be experiencing within their lives. A LGBT rehab offers an environment that's free from judgment, where LGBT clients can be completely comfortable and safe divulging to their peers and rehab counselors problems which should be resolved to enable them to get well. Rehabilitation counselors in the LGBT rehab will help clients mend relationships with their loved ones, in case their loved ones disagree with their sexual choice as is often the case. This situation is an extremely common trigger for drug use, and it is an example of an issue that will be handled in rehabilitation. LGBT clients often simply want to be accepted in their lives, and rehab will help them accept themselves and create confidence in order to lead a healthy life without any drugs and alcohol.
