LGBT represents lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are facilities which address the unique needs of these clients. Individuals who are LGBT can often feel alone, misunderstood, and considered socially unwanted. This is sometimes a very difficult 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 in a conventional rehab center amongst individuals who aren't experiencing the same challenges they are experiencing in their lives. A LGBT center offers an environment which is free of judgment, where LGBT clients can be completely comfortable and safe divulging to their peers and rehabilitation counselors issues which have to be resolved in order to recover. Rehabilitation counselors in a LGBT rehab can help clients repair relationships with their family members, in case their family disagree with their sexual preference as is usually the case. This circumstance is an extremely common trigger for substance abuse, which is a good example of a thing that can be handled in rehab. LGBT clients often would like to be accepted within their lives, and rehabilitation will help them accept themselves and build confidence so that they can lead a wholesome life free of drugs and alcohol.
