LGBT stands for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are centers which address the unique needs of these clients. People who are LGBT can feel alone, not understood, and considered socially unwanted. This is often a very difficult and painful way to live, and leads many LGBT people to a life of substance abuse to numb this pain. Someone who is LGBT may not feel relaxed in a traditional rehabilitation program amongst people who aren't experiencing the same problems they may be experiencing within their lives. A LGBT rehab provides 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 should be handled to be able to get well. Rehab counselors in a LGBT rehab can help clients repair relationships with their loved ones, in case their family disagree with their sexual preference as is generally the case. This situation is an extremely common trigger for drug abuse, which is an example of an issue that can be handled in rehab. LGBT clients often would like to be accepted in their lives, and rehab will help them accept themselves and create confidence so that they can lead a healthy life free of alcohol and drugs.
