LGBT stands for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are centers which address the particular needs of these clients. Those who are LGBT can feel alone, not understood, and considered socially unwanted. This can be a very difficult or painful existence, and leads many LGBT individuals to a lifestyle of drug use to numb this pain. Someone that is LGBT may not feel relaxed within a traditional rehabilitation center amongst people who aren't experiencing the same problems they may be experiencing in their lives. A LGBT facility offers an environment that's free of judgment, where LGBT clients can be completely comfortable and safe divulging to their peers and treatment counselors issues which have to be handled to be able to get well. Rehabilitation counselors within a LGBT rehab can help clients repair relationships with their family members, in the event that their family disagree with their sexual choice as is often the case. This situation is an extremely frequent trigger for substance abuse, and is also a good example of something which can be resolved in rehabilitation. LGBT clients often only want to be accepted in their lives, and rehab will help them accept themselves and build confidence so that they can lead a wholesome life free of alcohol and drugs.
