LGBT is short for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are centers which address the particular needs of these clients. Individuals who are LGBT can often feel alone, not understood, and seen as socially unwanted. This is often an extremely tough and painful way to live, and leads many LGBT people to a life of drug use to alleviate this pain. Someone who is LGBT might not feel at ease in a traditional rehab center amongst folks who aren't experiencing the same challenges they are experiencing within their lives. A LGBT program provides an environment that's free of judgment, where LGBT clients can be totally comfortable and safe divulging to their peers and treatment counselors problems which need to be handled to be able to get well. Rehab counselors in a LGBT rehab can help clients repair relationships with their family members, in case their family disagree with their sexual choice as is usually the case. This situation is an extremely frequent trigger for drug abuse, and is a good example of something which will be resolved in rehabilitation. 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 healthy life free of drugs and alcohol.
