LGBT represents lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are centers which address the unique needs of these clients. People who are LGBT can often feel alone, not understood, and considered socially unwanted. This is sometimes a quite challenging or painful existence, and leads many LGBT people to a lifestyle of drug abuse to alleviate this pain. Someone who is LGBT may not feel safe within a traditional rehabilitation program amongst people who aren't experiencing the same challenges they are experiencing of their lives. A LGBT rehab offers an environment that is totally free of judgment, where LGBT clients can be completely safe and comfortable revealing to their peers and treatment counselors problems which have to be resolved to enable them to recover. Rehabilitation counselors in a LGBT rehab will help clients repair relationships with their family members, in the event their family disagree with their sexual choice as is often the case. This situation is an extremely common trigger for substance abuse, and is also a good example of an issue that would be handled in rehabilitation. LGBT clients often only want to be accepted within their lives, and rehabilitation will help them accept themselves and create confidence to be able to lead a wholesome life free from drugs and alcohol.
