LGBT is short for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are centers which address the particular needs of these clients. People who are LGBT can often feel alone, not understood, and considered socially unwanted. This is often a very hard or painful way to live, and leads many LGBT individuals to a life of substance abuse to numb this pain. Somebody who is LGBT might not exactly feel relaxed within a traditional treatment program amongst people who aren't experiencing the same problems they may be experiencing in their lives. A LGBT rehab provides an environment which is totally free of judgment, where LGBT clients can feel totally safe and comfortable revealing to their peers and rehabilitation counselors issues which need to be resolved to enable them to get better. Treatment counselors in a LGBT rehab can help clients mend relationships with their family members, in the case their family disagree with their sexual choice as is generally the case. This circumstance is an extremely common trigger for drug use, and it is a good example of an issue that will be handled in rehab. LGBT clients often simply want to be accepted in their lives, and rehabilitation will help them accept themselves and create confidence in order to lead a wholesome life without any drugs and alcohol.
