LGBT stands for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are centers which address the particular needs of these clients. Individuals who are LGBT can feel alone, not understood, and seen as socially unwanted. This may be a very difficult or painful existence, and leads many LGBT people to a life of drug use to numb these feelings. Somebody who is LGBT might not feel comfortable inside a traditional rehabilitation center amongst individuals who aren't experiencing the same problems they are experiencing of their lives. A LGBT program offers an environment that is free from judgment, where LGBT clients can feel totally safe and comfortable divulging to their peers and rehab counselors problems which should be resolved to enable them to get well. Rehabilitation counselors in a LGBT rehab can help clients fix relationships with their family, in the event that their family disagree with their sexual preference as is generally the case. This situation is an extremely frequent trigger for drug abuse, and it is a good example of a thing that will be handled in rehab. LGBT clients often just want to be accepted in their lives, and treatment will help them accept themselves and create confidence to be able to lead a wholesome life without any alcohol and drugs.
