LGBT represents lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are programs which address the unique needs of these clients. Those who are LGBT can often feel alone, not understood, and seen as socially depraved. This is sometimes a very hard or painful existence, and leads many LGBT people to a lifestyle of drug abuse to numb this pain. Somebody who is LGBT might not exactly feel safe in a conventional rehab center amongst folks who aren't experiencing the same challenges they may be experiencing within their lives. A LGBT center provides an environment which is free of judgment, where LGBT clients can be completely safe and comfortable revealing to their peers and treatment counselors issues which must be resolved in order to get well. Rehabilitation counselors in the LGBT rehab can help clients repair relationships with their family members, in the event that their family disagree with their sexual choice as is usually the case. This situation is certainly a frequent trigger for substance abuse, and is an example of an issue that would be resolved in rehabilitation. LGBT clients often only want to be accepted in their lives, and rehabilitation will help them accept themselves and build confidence in order to lead a healthy life free of drugs and alcohol.
