LGBT stands for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are programs which address the unique needs of these clients. Those who are LGBT can often feel alone, misunderstood, and viewed as socially unwanted. This is often a very hard or painful existence, and leads many LGBT individuals to a lifestyle of drug abuse to numb these feelings. Someone who is LGBT might not exactly feel safe in a traditional rehabilitation program amongst folks who aren't experiencing the same problems they may be 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 problems which should be resolved to enable them to get better. Treatment counselors in the LGBT rehab can help clients fix relationships with their family, in case their family disagree with their sexual choice as is usually the case. This situation is certainly a common trigger for substance abuse, which is a good example of something which would be handled in treatment. LGBT clients often only want to be accepted within their lives, and rehab will help them accept themselves and create confidence in order to lead a healthy life clear of drugs and alcohol.
