LGBT represents lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are facilities which address the unique needs of these clients. Those who are LGBT can often feel alone, misunderstood, and seen as socially depraved. This is sometimes a very hard or painful way to live, and leads many LGBT individuals to a lifestyle of substance abuse to numb these feelings. Someone who is LGBT may not feel relaxed in a traditional rehabilitation facility amongst people who aren't experiencing the same problems they are experiencing in their lives. A LGBT center provides an environment which can be totally free of judgment, where LGBT clients can be totally safe and comfortable divulging to their peers and rehab counselors issues which should be handled in order to recover. Treatment counselors in a LGBT rehab can help clients fix relationships with their family, in the event their loved ones disagree with their sexual preference as is generally the case. This situation is certainly a common trigger for substance abuse, and it is an example of something would be handled in rehabilitation. LGBT clients often would like to be accepted in their lives, and treatment will help them accept themselves and build confidence to enable them to lead a healthy life free of alcohol and drugs.
