LGBT is short for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are centers which address the unique needs of these clients. People who are LGBT can often feel alone, not understood, and considered socially depraved. This is sometimes a very difficult or painful way to live, and leads many LGBT people to a lifestyle of substance abuse to alleviate these feelings. Somebody who is LGBT may not feel relaxed within a conventional rehab program amongst people who aren't experiencing the same challenges they are experiencing in their lives. A LGBT rehab offers an environment which is totally free of judgment, where LGBT clients can be completely comfortable and safe revealing to their peers and rehabilitation counselors issues which must be handled to enable them to get well. Rehabilitation counselors within a LGBT rehab will help clients fix relationships with their family members, in the event their loved ones disagree with their sexual choice as is often the case. This circumstance is an extremely common trigger for substance abuse, and is an example of something could be resolved in rehab. LGBT clients often just want to be accepted in their lives, and rehab will help them accept themselves and build confidence to be able to lead a wholesome life without any drugs and alcohol.
