LGBT means lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are programs which address the particular needs of these clients. Those who are LGBT can feel alone, not understood, and seen as socially depraved. This is often an extremely tough or painful existence, and leads many LGBT individuals to a life of drug use to alleviate this pain. Somebody who is LGBT might not feel comfortable in a traditional treatment program amongst people who aren't experiencing the same challenges they may be experiencing within their lives. A LGBT center offers an environment which can be totally free of judgment, where LGBT clients can be totally safe and comfortable revealing to their peers and rehab counselors issues which must be handled in order to get better. Rehab counselors in a LGBT rehab will help clients mend relationships with their family members, in case their family disagree with their sexual choice as is usually the case. This situation is an extremely common trigger for drug abuse, which is a good example of a thing that would be resolved in rehab. LGBT clients often would like to be accepted in their lives, and rehabilitation will help them accept themselves and create confidence to enable them to lead a wholesome life free from drugs and alcohol.
