LGBT is short for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are programs which address the unique needs of these clients. Those who are LGBT can feel alone, not understood, and seen as socially depraved. This can be an extremely tough or painful existence, and leads many LGBT people to a life of drug use to numb these feelings. Someone who is LGBT may not feel relaxed inside a traditional rehab center amongst folks who aren't experiencing the same problems they may be experiencing of their lives. A LGBT center provides an environment that's free from judgment, where LGBT clients can feel totally comfortable and safe revealing to their peers and rehab counselors issues which should be resolved so that they can get well. Rehabilitation counselors in the LGBT rehab will help clients mend relationships with their loved ones, in case their family disagree with their sexual choice as is usually the case. This situation is an extremely common trigger for drug abuse, and is also a good example of something can be resolved in rehab. LGBT clients often would like to be accepted in their lives, and rehabilitation will help them accept themselves and build confidence in order to lead a healthy life without any alcohol and drugs.
