LGBT means lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are facilities which address the unique needs of these clients. Individuals who are LGBT can often feel alone, misunderstood, and considered socially depraved. This is often an extremely tough or painful existence, and leads many LGBT people to a lifestyle of substance abuse to numb this pain. Someone who is LGBT may not feel comfortable in a traditional rehabilitation center amongst people who aren't experiencing the same challenges they may be experiencing in their lives. A LGBT center offers an environment which can be free from judgment, where LGBT clients can feel totally safe and comfortable revealing to their peers and rehab counselors issues which have to be resolved to be able to recover. Rehabilitation counselors in the LGBT rehab will help clients mend relationships with their loved ones, in the case their loved ones disagree with their sexual choice as is often the case. This circumstance is certainly a common trigger for drug use, which is a good example of an issue that would be handled in rehabilitation. LGBT clients often simply want to be accepted within their lives, and treatment will help them accept themselves and build confidence to be able to lead a wholesome life free of drugs and alcohol.
