LGBT is short for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are facilities which address the unique needs of these clients. Individuals who are LGBT can often feel alone, not understood, and considered socially depraved. This can be a very hard or painful way to live, and leads many LGBT people to a life of drug use to numb this pain. Someone who is LGBT might not exactly feel relaxed in a conventional rehabilitation program amongst people who aren't experiencing the same problems they are experiencing in their lives. A LGBT center offers an environment which is totally free of judgment, where LGBT clients can be totally comfortable and safe revealing to their peers and rehab counselors issues which need to be handled so that they can get better. Treatment counselors within a LGBT rehab will help clients mend relationships with their family members, in the case their family disagree with their sexual preference as is often the case. This circumstance is definitely a frequent trigger for abusing drugs, which is an example of something which would be handled in treatment. LGBT clients often only want to be accepted within their lives, and treatment will help them accept themselves and build confidence so that they can lead a healthy life clear of drugs and alcohol.
