LGBT means lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are centers which address the particular needs of these clients. People who are LGBT can feel alone, not understood, and considered socially depraved. This can be a quite challenging and painful way to live, and leads many LGBT people to a lifestyle of substance abuse to numb this pain. Someone that is LGBT may not feel relaxed within a traditional rehab center amongst individuals who aren't experiencing the same problems they are experiencing of their lives. A LGBT program offers an environment that's free from judgment, where LGBT clients can feel totally safe and comfortable divulging to their peers and rehab counselors issues which should be handled in order to get well. Rehab counselors in a LGBT rehab will help clients repair relationships with their family members, in the event that their loved ones disagree with their sexual preference as is often the case. This situation is an extremely frequent trigger for drug use, and is also an example of something which can be resolved in rehab. LGBT clients often would like to be accepted within their lives, and treatment will help them accept themselves and build confidence to be able to lead a healthy life free of alcohol and drugs.
