LGBT means lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are facilities which address the particular needs of these clients. Individuals who are LGBT can often feel alone, misunderstood, and viewed as socially unwanted. This may be a very difficult or painful way to live, and leads many LGBT people to a life of drug abuse to numb this pain. Somebody that is LGBT may not feel relaxed in a traditional rehabilitation facility amongst people who aren't experiencing the same challenges they may be experiencing within their lives. A LGBT center provides an environment which is free from judgment, where LGBT clients can feel completely safe and comfortable divulging to their peers and rehab counselors problems which have to be resolved in order to get better. Rehabilitation counselors in a LGBT rehab can help clients fix relationships with their family, in the event that their loved ones disagree with their sexual preference as is often the case. This circumstance is an extremely frequent trigger for drug abuse, and it is a good example of an issue that would be resolved in treatment. LGBT clients often just want to be accepted in their lives, and rehab will help them accept themselves and build confidence to be able to lead a healthy life free of drugs and alcohol.
