LGBT is short for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are centers which address the unique needs of these clients. Those who are LGBT can feel alone, misunderstood, and viewed as socially unwanted. This is often an extremely tough or painful way to live, and leads many LGBT individuals to a life of drug use to alleviate this pain. Someone that is LGBT may not feel safe within a traditional rehab center amongst people who aren't experiencing the same challenges they may be experiencing in their lives. A LGBT center offers an environment which is totally free of judgment, where LGBT clients can be completely comfortable and safe divulging to their peers and rehab counselors problems which need to be handled to be able to recover. Treatment counselors in a LGBT rehab will help clients repair relationships with their loved ones, in the event their loved ones disagree with their sexual choice as is usually the case. This situation is an extremely common trigger for abusing drugs, and is also a good example of an issue that will be handled in rehabilitation. LGBT clients often simply want to be accepted within their lives, and rehabilitation will help them accept themselves and build confidence in order to lead a healthy life without any drugs and alcohol.
