LGBT stands for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are centers which address the particular needs of these clients. Those who are LGBT can feel alone, misunderstood, and viewed as socially unwanted. This is sometimes a very hard or painful way to live, and leads many LGBT individuals to a lifestyle of drug abuse to alleviate these feelings. Someone who is LGBT might not exactly feel comfortable in a traditional treatment facility amongst folks who aren't experiencing the same problems they are experiencing within their lives. A LGBT facility offers an environment that is totally free of judgment, where LGBT clients can be totally safe and comfortable divulging to their peers and rehab counselors problems which have to be resolved to be able to get well. Treatment counselors in a LGBT rehab will help clients repair relationships with their family members, in the case their family disagree with their sexual preference as is generally the case. This circumstance is an extremely frequent trigger for substance abuse, and is an illustration of something can be resolved in treatment. LGBT clients often just want to be accepted within their lives, and rehabilitation will help them accept themselves and build confidence in order to lead a healthy life without any drugs and alcohol.
