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, misunderstood, and considered socially depraved. This can be a very hard or painful existence, and leads many LGBT people to a lifestyle of drug abuse to numb these feelings. Someone who is LGBT might not exactly feel safe within a conventional rehab program amongst individuals who aren't experiencing the same problems they may be experiencing within their lives. A LGBT facility provides an environment which is totally free of judgment, where LGBT clients can feel completely safe and comfortable revealing to their peers and rehab counselors problems which must be handled to enable them to get better. Rehab counselors within a LGBT rehab will help clients mend relationships with their family, in case their family disagree with their sexual preference as is generally the case. This circumstance is certainly a frequent trigger for drug abuse, and it is an example of an issue that can be resolved in rehabilitation. LGBT clients often just want to be accepted within their lives, and rehabilitation will help them accept themselves and build confidence in order to lead a healthy life free from alcohol and drugs.
