LGBT is short for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are facilities which address the particular needs of these clients. Those who are LGBT can feel alone, misunderstood, and viewed as socially depraved. This can be a quite challenging or painful existence, and leads many LGBT people to a lifestyle of drug use to numb these feelings. Somebody who is LGBT might not exactly feel comfortable inside a traditional rehab program amongst folks who aren't experiencing the same challenges they may be experiencing in their lives. A LGBT center offers an environment which is free from judgment, where LGBT clients can feel completely safe and comfortable revealing to their peers and rehab counselors problems which should be resolved to be able to get well. Rehabilitation counselors within a LGBT rehab can help clients mend relationships with their family, in the case their loved ones 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 something which can be resolved in rehabilitation. LGBT clients often just 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.
