LGBT stands for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are facilities which address the particular needs of these clients. People who are LGBT can often feel alone, not understood, and viewed as socially unwanted. This is sometimes an extremely tough and painful way to live, and leads many LGBT individuals to a life of substance abuse to numb these feelings. Somebody who is LGBT may not feel at ease inside a traditional rehab center amongst people who aren't experiencing the same problems they may be experiencing in their lives. A LGBT center offers an environment that is free of judgment, where LGBT clients can be completely comfortable and safe revealing to their peers and treatment counselors issues which need to be resolved so that they can get better. Rehabilitation counselors in the LGBT rehab can help clients fix relationships with their family, in the case their loved ones disagree with their sexual choice as is generally the case. This circumstance is certainly a common trigger for abusing drugs, which is a good example of an issue that would be resolved in rehab. LGBT clients often only want to be accepted within their lives, and treatment will help them accept themselves and build confidence to be able to lead a wholesome life free of drugs and alcohol.
