LGBT is short for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are centers which address the unique needs of these clients. Individuals who are LGBT can often feel alone, not understood, and seen as socially depraved. This is sometimes a very hard and painful way to live, and leads many LGBT people to a life of drug use to numb these feelings. Someone that is LGBT might not feel at ease in a traditional rehab program amongst people who aren't experiencing the same challenges they are experiencing of their lives. A LGBT facility offers an environment that is free from judgment, where LGBT clients can be totally comfortable and safe divulging to their peers and rehab counselors problems which should be handled in order to get better. Treatment counselors in a LGBT rehab can help clients mend relationships with their family, in the event that their loved ones disagree with their sexual choice as is usually the case. This situation is an extremely frequent trigger for abusing drugs, and is also an illustration of an issue that would be resolved in rehabilitation. LGBT clients often just want to be accepted within their lives, and rehab will help them accept themselves and create confidence to enable them to lead a healthy life clear of alcohol and drugs.
