LGBT is short for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are centers which address the particular needs of these clients. Those who are LGBT can often feel alone, not understood, and considered socially unwanted. This may be an extremely tough and painful existence, and leads many LGBT people to a life of drug use to numb this pain. Somebody who is LGBT may not feel at ease within a traditional rehabilitation facility amongst individuals who aren't experiencing the same challenges they are experiencing in their lives. A LGBT rehab provides an environment which is totally free of judgment, where LGBT clients can be totally safe and comfortable divulging to their peers and treatment counselors issues which need to be handled to enable them to get better. Rehabilitation counselors in a LGBT rehab will help clients repair relationships with their loved ones, in the event that their loved ones disagree with their sexual choice as is often the case. This circumstance is an extremely frequent trigger for substance abuse, and it is a good example of a thing that would be resolved in rehabilitation. LGBT clients often only want to be accepted in their lives, and rehab will help them accept themselves and create confidence to be able to lead a healthy life free of drugs and alcohol.
