LGBT stands for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are programs which address the particular needs of these clients. Individuals who are LGBT can feel alone, not understood, and considered socially unwanted. This can be a quite challenging and painful way to live, and leads many LGBT people to a life of drug abuse to numb these feelings. Someone who is LGBT may not feel relaxed within a traditional rehab program amongst individuals who aren't experiencing the same problems they may be experiencing in their lives. A LGBT center provides an environment that is free from judgment, where LGBT clients can feel completely comfortable and safe divulging to their peers and treatment counselors issues which must be resolved in order to get better. Rehab counselors in a LGBT rehab can help clients mend relationships with their family, in the event their loved ones disagree with their sexual preference as is often the case. This circumstance is definitely a common trigger for abusing drugs, and it is a good example of something can be resolved in rehab. LGBT clients often simply want to be accepted within their lives, and treatment will help them accept themselves and build confidence to enable them to lead a healthy life free from alcohol and drugs.
