LGBT means lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are centers which address the particular needs of these clients. Those who are LGBT can feel alone, misunderstood, and seen as socially unwanted. This may be a very difficult and painful way to live, and leads many LGBT people to a lifestyle of substance abuse to alleviate this pain. Someone that is LGBT may not feel safe within a traditional treatment center amongst folks who aren't experiencing the same challenges they may be experiencing in their lives. A LGBT program provides an environment that is free from judgment, where LGBT clients can feel completely comfortable and safe revealing to their peers and treatment counselors issues which should be handled in order to recover. Rehabilitation counselors in a LGBT rehab can help clients repair relationships with their family members, in the event that their family disagree with their sexual preference as is generally the case. This situation is an extremely frequent trigger for abusing drugs, and is an example of something would be resolved in rehabilitation. LGBT clients often only want to be accepted within their lives, and rehab will help them accept themselves and create confidence to be able to lead a healthy life clear of drugs and alcohol.
