LGBT means lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are centers which address the unique needs of these clients. People who are LGBT can often feel alone, misunderstood, and considered socially unwanted. This is often a quite challenging or painful existence, and leads many LGBT individuals to a life of drug abuse to numb this pain. Someone who is LGBT might not exactly feel safe in a traditional rehab program amongst individuals who aren't experiencing the same problems they are experiencing within their lives. A LGBT rehab offers an environment which can be free of judgment, where LGBT clients can feel completely comfortable and safe divulging to their peers and rehabilitation counselors problems which must be resolved so that they can recover. Rehab counselors in a LGBT rehab can help clients mend relationships with their family members, in the event their loved ones disagree with their sexual preference as is usually the case. This situation is definitely a frequent trigger for drug use, and is an example of a thing that will be resolved in rehabilitation. LGBT clients often only want to be accepted in their lives, and treatment will help them accept themselves and create confidence in order to lead a wholesome life free from alcohol and drugs.
