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, misunderstood, and viewed as socially unwanted. This may be a very difficult and painful existence, and leads many LGBT people to a life of substance abuse to numb this pain. Somebody who is LGBT may not feel relaxed in a conventional treatment center amongst individuals who aren't experiencing the same problems they may be experiencing of their lives. A LGBT program offers an environment that's totally free of judgment, where LGBT clients can feel completely comfortable and safe revealing to their peers and treatment counselors problems which have to be handled in order to recover. Rehabilitation counselors in a LGBT rehab can help clients fix relationships with their family members, in the event that their family disagree with their sexual preference as is usually the case. This situation is an extremely common trigger for drug use, which is a good example of something would be handled in rehabilitation. LGBT clients often would like to be accepted within their lives, and rehab will help them accept themselves and build confidence in order to lead a healthy life free from drugs and alcohol.
