LGBT stands for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are centers which address the unique needs of these clients. Those who are LGBT can often feel alone, not understood, and seen as socially depraved. This may be a very hard and painful way to live, and leads many LGBT people to a lifestyle of substance abuse to alleviate these feelings. Someone who is LGBT might not feel comfortable in a traditional rehabilitation center amongst people who aren't experiencing the same problems they may be experiencing within their lives. A LGBT facility provides an environment which is free of judgment, where LGBT clients can feel totally safe and comfortable divulging to their peers and rehab counselors issues which need to be resolved to be able to recover. Rehab counselors in a LGBT rehab will help clients mend relationships with their loved ones, in case their loved ones disagree with their sexual choice as is usually the case. This situation is definitely a common trigger for drug use, and is also an illustration of something can be resolved in rehab. LGBT clients often simply want to be accepted within their lives, and treatment will help them accept themselves and build confidence so that they can lead a healthy life free of drugs and alcohol.
