LGBT means 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 viewed as socially unwanted. This is often a very difficult and painful way to live, and leads many LGBT individuals to a lifestyle of drug abuse to alleviate these feelings. Somebody who is LGBT might not feel at ease inside a traditional rehab center amongst individuals who aren't experiencing the same problems they may be experiencing of their lives. A LGBT center offers an environment that's free from judgment, where LGBT clients can feel completely safe and comfortable divulging to their peers and rehab counselors issues which have to be handled in order to get better. Treatment counselors in a LGBT rehab can help clients fix relationships with their loved ones, in the case their loved ones disagree with their sexual preference as is often the case. This situation is an extremely common trigger for substance abuse, which is a good example of a thing that can 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 clear of alcohol and drugs.
