LGBT stands for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are programs which address the particular needs of these clients. People who are LGBT can often feel alone, not understood, and considered socially depraved. This is sometimes a very difficult and painful existence, and leads many LGBT people to a lifestyle of drug use to alleviate these feelings. Someone who is LGBT might not feel at ease inside a conventional treatment facility amongst folks who aren't experiencing the same problems they may be experiencing in their lives. A LGBT center offers an environment which is free of judgment, where LGBT clients can be totally safe and comfortable divulging to their peers and rehab counselors issues which have to be handled in order to get better. Rehabilitation counselors within a LGBT rehab will help clients fix relationships with their family members, in the event that their loved ones disagree with their sexual choice as is usually the case. This circumstance is an extremely common trigger for drug abuse, which is an example of an issue that can be handled in rehabilitation. LGBT clients often just want to be accepted in their lives, and rehab will help them accept themselves and build confidence to be able to lead a healthy life free from alcohol and drugs.
