LGBT stands for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are programs which address the particular needs of these clients. Those who are LGBT can often feel alone, misunderstood, and considered socially depraved. This is often an extremely tough and painful existence, and leads many LGBT individuals to a life of drug abuse to numb these feelings. Someone that is LGBT might not exactly feel comfortable within a conventional treatment facility amongst people who aren't experiencing the same problems they are experiencing in their lives. A LGBT center provides an environment that is totally free of judgment, where LGBT clients can feel completely comfortable and safe divulging to their peers and rehab counselors issues which must be handled in order to get better. Rehab counselors within a LGBT rehab will help clients repair relationships with their family, in the event that their family disagree with their sexual preference as is usually the case. This circumstance is an extremely common trigger for abusing drugs, which is an example of a thing that can be handled in rehab. LGBT clients often only 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 of drugs and alcohol.
