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, not understood, and seen as socially unwanted. This is sometimes an extremely tough and painful existence, and leads many LGBT individuals to a life of substance abuse to numb these feelings. Somebody who is LGBT might not feel at ease in a traditional rehab facility amongst individuals who aren't experiencing the same problems they are experiencing of their lives. A LGBT program offers an environment that is totally free of judgment, where LGBT clients can be completely comfortable and safe divulging to their peers and treatment counselors problems which need to be handled to be able to recover. Rehab counselors in a LGBT rehab can help clients repair relationships with their family, in the case their family disagree with their sexual preference as is generally the case. This situation is an extremely common trigger for substance abuse, which is an illustration of something which could be handled in rehab. LGBT clients often only want to be accepted within their lives, and treatment will help them accept themselves and build confidence so that they can lead a healthy life clear of drugs and alcohol.
