LGBT means lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are centers which address the particular needs of these clients. People who are LGBT can feel alone, not understood, and considered socially unwanted. This is sometimes an extremely tough or painful existence, and leads many LGBT individuals to a life of substance abuse to alleviate this pain. Someone who is LGBT may not feel comfortable in a traditional rehab center amongst folks who aren't experiencing the same problems they are experiencing in their lives. A LGBT rehab offers an environment which is free of judgment, where LGBT clients can feel completely safe and comfortable divulging to their peers and rehab counselors issues which should be handled to enable them to recover. Rehab counselors in a LGBT rehab can help clients fix relationships with their loved ones, in the event that their loved ones disagree with their sexual choice as is generally the case. This situation is an extremely frequent trigger for substance abuse, which is a good example of something which could be resolved in treatment. LGBT clients often would like to be accepted in their lives, and rehab will help them accept themselves and create confidence in order to lead a healthy life without any alcohol and drugs.
