LGBT is short for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are centers which address the particular needs of these clients. Those who are LGBT can feel alone, misunderstood, and considered socially depraved. This can be a very difficult or painful existence, and leads many LGBT people to a lifestyle of drug use to alleviate this pain. Somebody who is LGBT might not exactly feel safe in a traditional rehabilitation facility amongst folks who aren't experiencing the same challenges they are experiencing of their lives. A LGBT program provides an environment which is free of judgment, where LGBT clients can be completely comfortable and safe revealing to their peers and rehab counselors problems which have to be resolved so that they can get better. Rehabilitation counselors in a LGBT rehab will help clients repair relationships with their loved ones, in the event their loved ones disagree with their sexual preference as is usually the case. This circumstance is an extremely common trigger for drug abuse, which is an illustration of something which can be resolved in rehab. LGBT clients often would like to be accepted in their lives, and rehabilitation will help them accept themselves and produce confidence so that they can lead a healthy life free from alcohol and drugs.
