LGBT stands for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are centers which address the particular needs of these clients. Those who are LGBT can often feel alone, not understood, and considered socially unwanted. This is often an extremely tough or painful existence, and leads many LGBT individuals to a lifestyle of substance abuse to alleviate this pain. Somebody who is LGBT may not feel at ease in a traditional rehab facility amongst folks who aren't experiencing the same challenges they may be experiencing of their lives. A LGBT rehab provides an environment that's free of judgment, where LGBT clients can be completely comfortable and safe revealing to their peers and rehabilitation counselors problems which need to be resolved so that they can recover. Rehabilitation counselors in a LGBT rehab can help clients fix relationships with their loved ones, in case their family disagree with their sexual choice as is generally the case. This situation is an extremely common trigger for substance abuse, which is an example of something can be handled in rehab. LGBT clients often only want to be accepted in their lives, and rehabilitation will help them accept themselves and build confidence to be able to lead a healthy life free of drugs and alcohol.
