LGBT stands for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are programs which address the unique needs of these clients. People who are LGBT can often feel alone, misunderstood, and seen as socially depraved. This may be a very difficult and painful existence, and leads many LGBT individuals to a lifestyle of drug use to alleviate these feelings. Someone who is LGBT may not feel comfortable in a conventional rehab center amongst people who aren't experiencing the same problems they are experiencing in their lives. A LGBT center offers an environment that's free from judgment, where LGBT clients can be totally comfortable and safe divulging to their peers and treatment counselors problems which should be handled in order to get well. Rehab counselors in a LGBT rehab can help clients fix relationships with their family members, in the case their loved ones disagree with their sexual preference as is usually the case. This situation is an extremely frequent trigger for substance abuse, and is a good example of a thing that can be resolved in rehabilitation. LGBT clients often would like to be accepted within their lives, and rehabilitation will help them accept themselves and build confidence to be able to lead a wholesome life free of alcohol and drugs.
