LGBT represents lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are programs which address the particular needs of these clients. People who are LGBT can feel alone, not understood, and seen as socially unwanted. This is often a very hard and painful existence, and leads many LGBT individuals to a lifestyle of drug abuse to alleviate this pain. Somebody that is LGBT may not feel safe in a conventional rehab program amongst individuals who aren't experiencing the same challenges they are experiencing within their lives. A LGBT center provides an environment which is free of judgment, where LGBT clients can feel completely comfortable and safe divulging to their peers and treatment counselors issues which need to be resolved so that they can get well. Treatment counselors in a LGBT rehab will help clients mend relationships with their loved ones, in the case their loved ones disagree with their sexual preference as is generally the case. This situation is an extremely frequent trigger for substance abuse, which is a good example of something would be resolved in rehab. LGBT clients often only want to be accepted in their lives, and rehab will help them accept themselves and build confidence in order to lead a healthy life free from alcohol and drugs.
