LGBT stands for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are centers which address the unique needs of these clients. People who are LGBT can feel alone, misunderstood, and viewed as socially depraved. This is often a very difficult and painful way to live, and leads many LGBT people to a lifestyle of drug abuse to alleviate these feelings. Someone who is LGBT might not feel at ease within a traditional rehab center amongst folks who aren't experiencing the same problems they may be experiencing of their lives. A LGBT program provides an environment that's free of judgment, where LGBT clients can feel completely safe and comfortable divulging to their peers and rehab counselors issues which have to be resolved in order to get better. Rehabilitation counselors in the LGBT rehab will help clients mend relationships with their family members, in the case their loved ones disagree with their sexual choice as is often the case. This situation is definitely a common trigger for drug use, and it is an example of a thing that will be resolved in treatment. LGBT clients often simply want to be accepted within their lives, and treatment will help them accept themselves and build confidence to be able to lead a healthy life without any alcohol and drugs.
