LGBT stands for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are facilities which address the particular needs of these clients. People who are LGBT can feel alone, misunderstood, and seen as socially unwanted. This can be a quite challenging and painful way to live, and leads many LGBT people to a lifestyle of substance abuse to numb this pain. Somebody who is LGBT might not feel relaxed in a traditional rehabilitation center amongst people who aren't experiencing the same problems they may be experiencing of their lives. A LGBT center offers an environment that is free from judgment, where LGBT clients can be completely safe and comfortable revealing to their peers and rehabilitation counselors problems which should be resolved in order to recover. Treatment counselors in a LGBT rehab can help clients repair relationships with their family members, in case their family disagree with their sexual preference as is usually the case. This circumstance is definitely a common trigger for abusing drugs, and it is an illustration of an issue that will be resolved in treatment. LGBT clients often simply want to be accepted within their lives, and treatment will help them accept themselves and create confidence to be able to lead a healthy life free from alcohol and drugs.
