LGBT stands for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are centers which address the unique needs of these clients. Those who are LGBT can often feel alone, not understood, and viewed as socially depraved. This is often a very difficult and painful existence, and leads many LGBT people to a lifestyle of substance abuse to numb this pain. Somebody who is LGBT might not feel comfortable in a conventional treatment center amongst individuals who aren't experiencing the same problems they may be experiencing of their lives. A LGBT rehab offers an environment that is free of judgment, where LGBT clients can feel totally comfortable and safe revealing to their peers and rehabilitation counselors issues which should be resolved so that they can get better. Rehab counselors in the LGBT rehab will help clients fix relationships with their family, in the case their family disagree with their sexual preference as is usually the case. This situation is an extremely frequent trigger for drug abuse, and is also an illustration of something which would be handled in rehabilitation. LGBT clients often only want to be accepted within their lives, and rehab will help them accept themselves and produce confidence in order to lead a wholesome life free from drugs and alcohol.
