LGBT means lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are centers which address the particular needs of these clients. Individuals who are LGBT can often feel alone, misunderstood, and considered socially unwanted. This is often a very difficult or painful existence, and leads many LGBT people to a lifestyle of drug abuse to alleviate these feelings. Someone who is LGBT might not feel relaxed within a conventional rehab 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 totally free of judgment, where LGBT clients can be completely comfortable and safe divulging to their peers and rehab counselors issues which need to be handled so that they can get well. Rehab counselors in a LGBT rehab will help clients mend relationships with their family, in the case their family disagree with their sexual choice as is generally the case. This circumstance is an extremely frequent trigger for drug use, which is an example of an issue that can be handled in treatment. LGBT clients often just want to be accepted within their lives, and rehabilitation will help them accept themselves and build confidence so that they can lead a healthy life free from drugs and alcohol.
