LGBT means lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are centers which address the unique needs of these clients. People who are LGBT can feel alone, not understood, and considered socially unwanted. This is sometimes a very hard or painful way to live, and leads many LGBT individuals to a lifestyle of substance abuse to numb this pain. Someone who is LGBT might not exactly feel safe inside a traditional rehab center amongst individuals who aren't experiencing the same challenges they may be experiencing within their lives. A LGBT facility provides an environment which is free of judgment, where LGBT clients can be totally safe and comfortable divulging to their peers and treatment counselors problems which need to be handled to be able to recover. Rehab counselors in a LGBT rehab will help clients mend relationships with their family members, in the case their family disagree with their sexual choice as is often the case. This situation is an extremely common trigger for drug abuse, and it is a good example of something which will be resolved in rehabilitation. LGBT clients often would like to be accepted within their lives, and treatment will help them accept themselves and create confidence in order to lead a wholesome life without any drugs and alcohol.
