LGBT stands for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are facilities which address the unique needs of these clients. People who are LGBT can feel alone, misunderstood, and considered socially unwanted. This may be a quite challenging and painful existence, and leads many LGBT people to a lifestyle of substance abuse to alleviate these feelings. Someone who is LGBT might not exactly feel relaxed in a conventional rehabilitation program amongst folks who aren't experiencing the same problems they are experiencing of their lives. A LGBT center offers an environment which is free from judgment, where LGBT clients can be completely safe and comfortable revealing to their peers and rehab counselors problems which must be handled so that they can recover. Rehab counselors in a LGBT rehab can help clients mend relationships with their family members, in the case their loved ones disagree with their sexual choice as is usually the case. This situation is an extremely frequent trigger for drug abuse, and is also a good example of something which could be resolved in rehab. LGBT clients often simply want to be accepted within their lives, and rehab will help them accept themselves and create confidence in order to lead a wholesome life free from alcohol and drugs.
