LGBT is short for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are programs which address the particular needs of these clients. People who are LGBT can feel alone, not understood, and considered socially depraved. This is often a quite challenging or painful existence, and leads many LGBT people to a lifestyle of drug abuse to alleviate this pain. Someone who is LGBT might not exactly feel comfortable within a conventional rehabilitation facility amongst folks who aren't experiencing the same challenges they are experiencing of their lives. A LGBT center provides an environment that's free of judgment, where LGBT clients can be completely safe and comfortable divulging to their peers and rehab counselors issues which should be resolved to enable them to get well. Treatment counselors in a LGBT rehab will help clients mend relationships with their family, in case their family disagree with their sexual preference as is generally the case. This situation is definitely a frequent trigger for drug abuse, and is an example of something which can be resolved in rehabilitation. LGBT clients often just want to be accepted in their lives, and treatment will help them accept themselves and create confidence to enable them to lead a healthy life free of drugs and alcohol.
