LGBT is short for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are facilities which address the unique needs of these clients. Those who are LGBT can often feel alone, not understood, and considered socially unwanted. This is sometimes an extremely tough and painful existence, and leads many LGBT individuals to a lifestyle of drug abuse to numb this pain. Someone who is LGBT might not exactly feel safe within a conventional rehabilitation center amongst people who aren't experiencing the same problems they may be experiencing of their lives. A LGBT center provides an environment that's free from judgment, where LGBT clients can feel completely comfortable and safe divulging to their peers and treatment counselors issues which have to be handled to be able to recover. Treatment counselors in a LGBT rehab can help clients mend relationships with their family, in the event their family disagree with their sexual preference as is generally the case. This situation is an extremely frequent trigger for drug abuse, and it is a good example of an issue that would be handled in treatment. LGBT clients often just want to be accepted in their lives, and rehab will help them accept themselves and produce confidence in order to lead a healthy life clear of alcohol and drugs.
