LGBT is short for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are centers 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 an extremely tough or painful way to live, and leads many LGBT individuals to a lifestyle of drug abuse to alleviate this pain. Someone who is LGBT may not feel at ease in a traditional rehab program amongst individuals who aren't experiencing the same problems they may be experiencing of their lives. A LGBT rehab provides an environment that's free of judgment, where LGBT clients can be completely safe and comfortable revealing to their peers and rehabilitation counselors issues which need to be handled to be able to recover. Treatment counselors in a LGBT rehab will help clients mend relationships with their family, in the event that their family disagree with their sexual preference as is usually the case. This circumstance is certainly a frequent trigger for abusing drugs, which is an example of an issue that will be handled in rehabilitation. LGBT clients often just want to be accepted within their lives, and rehab will help them accept themselves and create confidence so that they can lead a wholesome life without any drugs and alcohol.
