LGBT is short for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are centers which address the particular needs of these clients. Those who are LGBT can feel alone, not understood, and considered socially depraved. This may be a very hard and painful way to live, and leads many LGBT people to a life of drug abuse to alleviate these feelings. Someone who is LGBT may not feel comfortable within a conventional treatment center amongst individuals who aren't experiencing the same problems they are experiencing in their lives. A LGBT rehab provides an environment that is totally free of judgment, where LGBT clients can be completely safe and comfortable divulging to their peers and rehabilitation counselors issues which have to be handled in order to get well. Rehab counselors in the LGBT rehab can help clients mend relationships with their loved ones, in the event their family disagree with their sexual choice as is often the case. This situation is certainly a common trigger for drug abuse, and it is a good example of an issue that can be handled in treatment. LGBT clients often only want to be accepted within their lives, and rehabilitation will help them accept themselves and build confidence to enable them to lead a wholesome life free of alcohol and drugs.
