LGBT is short for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are facilities which address the unique needs of these clients. Individuals who are LGBT can often feel alone, not understood, and seen as socially unwanted. This may be a very hard and painful way to live, and leads many LGBT individuals to a lifestyle of drug abuse to numb this pain. Someone that is LGBT might not feel safe in a traditional rehabilitation center amongst people who aren't experiencing the same problems they may be experiencing within their lives. A LGBT center offers an environment which can be free of judgment, where LGBT clients can feel completely comfortable and safe revealing to their peers and rehab counselors problems which should be resolved to be able to recover. Rehab counselors within a LGBT rehab can help clients fix relationships with their family, in the event that their family disagree with their sexual choice as is usually the case. This situation is an extremely common trigger for drug abuse, and is a good example of an issue that will be handled in rehab. LGBT clients often would like to be accepted in their lives, and rehab will help them accept themselves and produce confidence to enable them to lead a healthy life clear of alcohol and drugs.
