LGBT stands for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are programs which address the unique needs of these clients. Individuals who are LGBT can feel alone, not understood, and considered socially unwanted. This is often a quite challenging and painful existence, and leads many LGBT people to a lifestyle of drug use to alleviate this pain. Somebody who is LGBT might not exactly feel comfortable inside a conventional rehabilitation facility amongst individuals who aren't experiencing the same challenges they are experiencing in their lives. A LGBT center offers an environment that is free from judgment, where LGBT clients can feel completely safe and comfortable divulging to their peers and rehabilitation counselors issues which must be resolved to be able to recover. Rehabilitation counselors in a LGBT rehab will help clients mend relationships with their family, in the case their loved ones disagree with their sexual preference as is usually the case. This situation is an extremely frequent trigger for drug abuse, and is an example of something could be handled in rehabilitation. LGBT clients often just want to be accepted within their lives, and treatment will help them accept themselves and build confidence in order to lead a healthy life free of alcohol and drugs.
