LGBT is short for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are centers which address the unique needs of these clients. People who are LGBT can feel alone, not understood, and considered socially depraved. This is sometimes a very difficult or painful existence, and leads many LGBT individuals to a lifestyle of substance abuse to numb this pain. Somebody who is LGBT might not exactly feel at ease inside a conventional rehab center amongst people who aren't experiencing the same challenges they are experiencing in their lives. A LGBT facility provides an environment which is totally free of judgment, where LGBT clients can feel completely comfortable and safe revealing to their peers and rehabilitation counselors problems which must be resolved to be able to get better. Rehab counselors in the LGBT rehab can help clients repair relationships with their family members, in the case their family disagree with their sexual choice as is often the case. This situation is definitely a frequent trigger for drug use, and is also an example of an issue that would be handled in treatment. LGBT clients often just want to be accepted within their lives, and rehab will help them accept themselves and produce confidence in order to lead a wholesome life free from alcohol and drugs.
