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 seen as socially depraved. This is sometimes a very difficult and painful way to live, and leads many LGBT individuals to a life of substance abuse to alleviate these feelings. Someone who is LGBT might not feel comfortable within a conventional rehab program amongst people who aren't experiencing the same challenges they are experiencing in their lives. A LGBT program offers an environment which is totally free of judgment, where LGBT clients can be completely safe and comfortable revealing to their peers and treatment counselors problems which should be handled so that they can recover. Rehabilitation counselors within a LGBT rehab will help clients repair relationships with their family members, in the case their loved ones disagree with their sexual choice as is often the case. This circumstance is an extremely frequent trigger for abusing drugs, and is a good example of a thing that will be resolved in rehabilitation. LGBT clients often just want to be accepted within their lives, and treatment will help them accept themselves and build confidence to enable them to lead a healthy life without any drugs and alcohol.
