LGBT stands for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are centers which address the unique needs of these clients. Individuals who are LGBT can often feel alone, not understood, and viewed as socially depraved. This is often an extremely tough or painful existence, and leads many LGBT people to a lifestyle of drug abuse to alleviate these feelings. Somebody who is LGBT might not feel safe in a traditional rehab facility amongst individuals who aren't experiencing the same challenges they are experiencing within their lives. A LGBT facility provides an environment that is free of judgment, where LGBT clients can be totally comfortable and safe revealing to their peers and treatment counselors issues which need to be handled to enable them to get better. Treatment counselors in a LGBT rehab will help clients fix relationships with their family, in the event that their family disagree with their sexual choice as is usually the case. This situation is an extremely frequent trigger for substance abuse, which is an example of something would be handled in rehabilitation. LGBT clients often only want to be accepted within their lives, and rehabilitation will help them accept themselves and produce confidence so that they can lead a healthy life free from drugs and alcohol.
