LGBT is short for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are centers which address the unique needs of these clients. Those who are LGBT can feel alone, not understood, and viewed as socially depraved. This is often a very hard and painful existence, and leads many LGBT people to a life of drug abuse to numb these feelings. Someone who is LGBT might not exactly feel relaxed in a traditional rehab program amongst individuals who aren't experiencing the same challenges they are experiencing of their lives. A LGBT center provides an environment that is free of judgment, where LGBT clients can be totally safe and comfortable revealing to their peers and treatment counselors problems which need to be resolved so that they can get well. Rehab counselors in the 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 definitely a common trigger for abusing drugs, and is an example of an issue that would be handled in rehab. LGBT clients often only want to be accepted within their lives, and rehab will help them accept themselves and create confidence to enable them to lead a healthy life without any alcohol and drugs.
