LGBT stands for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are facilities which address the particular needs of these clients. Individuals who are LGBT can feel alone, not understood, and considered socially depraved. This can be a very difficult and painful way to live, and leads many LGBT individuals to a life of substance abuse to alleviate these feelings. Someone who is LGBT might not exactly feel safe in a traditional rehabilitation facility amongst folks who aren't experiencing the same problems they are experiencing in their lives. A LGBT center provides an environment that is free of judgment, where LGBT clients can be totally safe and comfortable divulging to their peers and rehabilitation counselors issues which must be handled in order to get better. Rehabilitation counselors within a LGBT rehab will help clients fix relationships with their loved ones, in case their family disagree with their sexual preference as is usually the case. This circumstance is an extremely frequent trigger for drug abuse, and is an example of an issue that would be handled in rehab. LGBT clients often only want to be accepted in their lives, and treatment will help them accept themselves and create confidence so that they can lead a healthy life without any drugs and alcohol.
