LGBT represents lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are centers which address the unique needs of these clients. Those who are LGBT can feel alone, misunderstood, and viewed as socially depraved. This is sometimes a very difficult and painful way to live, and leads many LGBT individuals to a lifestyle of substance abuse to numb this pain. Somebody who is LGBT may not feel at ease in a traditional rehabilitation center amongst folks who aren't experiencing the same problems they may be experiencing of their lives. A LGBT facility provides an environment which is free from judgment, where LGBT clients can feel completely comfortable and safe divulging to their peers and treatment counselors issues which have to be resolved in order to get well. Rehab counselors in a LGBT rehab will help clients repair relationships with their family members, in the event their loved ones disagree with their sexual choice as is often the case. This situation is an extremely common trigger for abusing drugs, and it is an illustration of an issue that will be handled in rehab. LGBT clients often would like to be accepted within their lives, and treatment will help them accept themselves and build confidence to be able to lead a healthy life free from alcohol and drugs.
