LGBT stands for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are programs which address the particular needs of these clients. Those who are LGBT can often feel alone, not understood, and considered socially unwanted. This may be a very difficult and painful existence, and leads many LGBT individuals to a lifestyle of substance abuse to numb these feelings. Someone who is LGBT may not feel comfortable inside a conventional rehab facility amongst individuals who aren't experiencing the same problems they are experiencing in their lives. A LGBT center offers an environment which is totally free of judgment, where LGBT clients can feel totally comfortable and safe revealing to their peers and rehab counselors issues which have to be resolved to be able to get well. Rehab counselors within a LGBT rehab can help clients fix relationships with their family members, in the event that their family disagree with their sexual preference as is usually the case. This situation is an extremely common trigger for abusing drugs, which is a good example of a thing that will be resolved in rehabilitation. LGBT clients often would like to be accepted within their lives, and treatment will help them accept themselves and create confidence in order to lead a healthy life free from alcohol and drugs.
