LGBT means lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are centers which address the particular needs of these clients. People who are LGBT can often feel alone, not understood, and seen as socially unwanted. This is often a quite challenging or painful way to live, and leads many LGBT individuals to a life of substance abuse to alleviate these feelings. Someone who is LGBT may not feel safe in a conventional rehabilitation program amongst people who aren't experiencing the same problems they may be experiencing in their lives. A LGBT rehab offers an environment that's free of judgment, where LGBT clients can be completely comfortable and safe divulging to their peers and treatment counselors problems which need to be resolved to enable them to recover. Rehab counselors in the LGBT rehab will help clients mend relationships with their family, in case their family disagree with their sexual choice as is often the case. This circumstance is an extremely common trigger for drug use, and is also a good example of something which will be resolved in rehabilitation. LGBT clients often only want to be accepted within their lives, and rehabilitation will help them accept themselves and produce confidence to enable them to lead a wholesome life free of drugs and alcohol.
