LGBT means lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are centers which address the unique needs of these clients. People who are LGBT can feel alone, not understood, and viewed as socially unwanted. This is often a quite challenging or painful way to live, and leads many LGBT people to a life of drug use to numb these feelings. Someone who is LGBT may not feel safe within a traditional treatment program amongst people who aren't experiencing the same challenges they are experiencing in their lives. A LGBT rehab offers an environment that's free of judgment, where LGBT clients can be completely safe and comfortable divulging to their peers and rehabilitation counselors issues which should be resolved to enable them to get better. Treatment counselors in the LGBT rehab will help clients fix relationships with their loved ones, in the event that their family disagree with their sexual preference as is often the case. This situation is an extremely frequent trigger for abusing drugs, and it is an illustration of something which can be handled in rehab. LGBT clients often just want to be accepted in their lives, and rehab will help them accept themselves and build confidence to enable them to lead a wholesome life free of alcohol and drugs.
