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, misunderstood, and viewed as socially unwanted. This may be an extremely tough or painful existence, and leads many LGBT people to a lifestyle of drug use to numb this pain. Someone who is LGBT might not feel at ease within a traditional treatment facility amongst individuals who aren't experiencing the same challenges they may be experiencing of their lives. A LGBT rehab offers an environment which can be free of judgment, where LGBT clients can be totally comfortable and safe revealing to their peers and rehab counselors problems which should be resolved so that they can recover. Rehab counselors within a LGBT rehab can help clients mend relationships with their loved ones, in the event that their loved ones disagree with their sexual preference as is often the case. This situation is an extremely frequent trigger for abusing drugs, and is an example of something which will be resolved in rehab. LGBT clients often simply want to be accepted within their lives, and rehabilitation will help them accept themselves and create confidence to be able to lead a wholesome life free from alcohol and drugs.
