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 sometimes an extremely tough or painful existence, and leads many LGBT individuals to a lifestyle of substance abuse to alleviate this pain. Someone who is LGBT may not feel comfortable in a traditional rehabilitation center amongst folks who aren't experiencing the same problems they are experiencing of their lives. A LGBT facility offers an environment that's totally free of judgment, where LGBT clients can be completely comfortable and safe revealing to their peers and rehab counselors problems which should be handled so that they can get better. Treatment counselors in a LGBT rehab can help clients mend relationships with their family, in case their family disagree with their sexual choice as is often the case. This situation is an extremely common trigger for drug abuse, which is a good example of a thing that can be resolved in rehab. LGBT clients often only want to be accepted in their lives, and treatment will help them accept themselves and create confidence to be able to lead a healthy life free of alcohol and drugs.
