LGBT represents lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are programs which address the unique needs of these clients. People who are LGBT can feel alone, not understood, and viewed as socially depraved. This may be a very hard or painful way to live, and leads many LGBT people to a life of drug use to numb this pain. Somebody who is LGBT might not exactly feel safe inside a traditional treatment facility amongst folks who aren't experiencing the same challenges they are experiencing of their lives. A LGBT center provides an environment that's free from judgment, where LGBT clients can be totally safe and comfortable divulging to their peers and rehab counselors problems which should be handled in order to get better. Rehabilitation counselors in a LGBT rehab will help clients mend relationships with their loved ones, in the event their family disagree with their sexual preference as is often the case. This situation is an extremely frequent trigger for substance abuse, and is also an example of an issue that can be handled in rehabilitation. LGBT clients often just want to be accepted within their lives, and treatment will help them accept themselves and build confidence to be able to lead a wholesome life clear of drugs and alcohol.
