LGBT is short for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are programs which address the unique needs of these clients. Those who are LGBT can feel alone, not understood, and considered socially unwanted. This may be a very difficult and painful existence, and leads many LGBT individuals to a life of drug abuse to numb these feelings. Someone who is LGBT might not feel comfortable within a conventional rehab program amongst individuals who aren't experiencing the same problems they may be experiencing of their lives. A LGBT center provides an environment which can be totally free of judgment, where LGBT clients can be completely safe and comfortable divulging to their peers and rehab counselors problems which should be resolved to be able to recover. Rehabilitation counselors in a LGBT rehab can help clients repair relationships with their loved ones, in the event that their loved ones disagree with their sexual preference as is usually the case. This circumstance is an extremely frequent trigger for drug use, and is an illustration of something would be handled in rehab. LGBT clients often simply want to be accepted in their lives, and rehabilitation will help them accept themselves and build confidence to be able to lead a healthy life clear of drugs and alcohol.
