LGBT stands for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are centers which address the unique needs of these clients. Individuals who are LGBT can often feel alone, misunderstood, and considered socially depraved. This is often a very difficult or painful existence, and leads many LGBT individuals to a life of drug use to alleviate these feelings. Somebody who is LGBT might not exactly feel safe inside a traditional rehabilitation center amongst folks who aren't experiencing the same problems they may be experiencing within their lives. A LGBT program offers an environment which is free from judgment, where LGBT clients can be completely safe and comfortable divulging to their peers and treatment counselors issues which should be handled so that they can recover. Rehabilitation counselors in the LGBT rehab will help clients mend relationships with their family, in the case their family disagree with their sexual preference as is usually the case. This situation is an extremely common trigger for abusing drugs, and is also an example of something which can be handled in rehabilitation. LGBT clients often simply want to be accepted within their lives, and treatment will help them accept themselves and produce confidence to be able to lead a healthy life without any drugs and alcohol.
