LGBT stands for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are centers which address the unique needs of these clients. People who are LGBT can feel alone, misunderstood, and seen as socially unwanted. This is sometimes a very difficult and painful existence, and leads many LGBT people to a lifestyle of drug use to alleviate this pain. Someone who is LGBT might not exactly feel comfortable in a conventional treatment program amongst individuals who aren't experiencing the same challenges they are experiencing in their lives. A LGBT center provides an environment which is free from judgment, where LGBT clients can be totally comfortable and safe divulging to their peers and rehabilitation counselors problems which have to be handled so that they can recover. Rehabilitation counselors in a LGBT rehab will help clients mend relationships with their loved ones, in the event their loved ones disagree with their sexual choice as is usually the case. This situation is definitely a frequent trigger for abusing drugs, and is also an example of an issue that will be resolved in rehab. LGBT clients often only want to be accepted within their lives, and rehab will help them accept themselves and build confidence so that they can lead a healthy life free of alcohol and drugs.
