LGBT stands for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are centers which address the particular needs of these clients. Individuals who are LGBT can often feel alone, not understood, and seen as socially depraved. This can be a very difficult and painful existence, and leads many LGBT individuals to a life of drug abuse to numb this pain. Someone who is LGBT may not feel relaxed in a conventional rehab program amongst folks who aren't experiencing the same problems they may be experiencing within their lives. A LGBT facility provides an environment that is free of judgment, where LGBT clients can feel completely comfortable and safe revealing to their peers and treatment counselors problems which have to be handled in order to get better. Rehabilitation counselors within a LGBT rehab can help clients fix relationships with their family, in the case their family disagree with their sexual preference as is usually the case. This circumstance is certainly a common trigger for substance abuse, which is an example of a thing that would be resolved in rehab. LGBT clients often just want to be accepted within their lives, and rehab will help them accept themselves and create confidence so that they can lead a wholesome life without any drugs and alcohol.
