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 often feel alone, not understood, and seen as socially depraved. This is sometimes an extremely tough or painful way to live, and leads many LGBT individuals to a lifestyle of drug abuse to numb this pain. Someone who is LGBT might not exactly feel comfortable in a conventional rehab facility amongst people who aren't experiencing the same problems they may be experiencing of their lives. A LGBT rehab provides an environment that is free from judgment, where LGBT clients can feel totally safe and comfortable revealing to their peers and rehabilitation counselors issues which must be resolved to be able to get better. Rehabilitation counselors in a LGBT rehab can help clients repair relationships with their loved ones, in the event that their loved ones disagree with their sexual choice as is generally the case. This situation is definitely a common trigger for abusing drugs, and is also a good example of something which would be resolved in treatment. LGBT clients often only want to be accepted in their lives, and treatment will help them accept themselves and create confidence so that they can lead a wholesome life free from drugs and alcohol.
