LGBT stands for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are programs which address the particular needs of these clients. Those who are LGBT can feel alone, misunderstood, and considered socially unwanted. This may be a very hard and painful way to live, and leads many LGBT individuals to a lifestyle of drug use to alleviate this pain. Someone that is LGBT may not feel at ease inside a traditional rehab facility amongst people who aren't experiencing the same problems they may be experiencing within their lives. A LGBT center offers an environment that's totally free of judgment, where LGBT clients can be completely safe and comfortable revealing to their peers and rehabilitation counselors problems which have to be resolved in order to get well. Treatment counselors in a LGBT rehab can help clients mend relationships with their family, in the case their family disagree with their sexual preference as is often the case. This circumstance is an extremely common trigger for drug use, and is an example of a thing that can be resolved in treatment. LGBT clients often only want to be accepted in their lives, and rehab will help them accept themselves and build confidence so that they can lead a healthy life clear of alcohol and drugs.
