LGBT stands for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are centers which address the particular needs of these clients. Those who are LGBT can often feel alone, not understood, and considered socially unwanted. This can be a quite challenging and painful way to live, and leads many LGBT people to a life of drug use to numb these feelings. Somebody who is LGBT might not feel comfortable inside a traditional rehabilitation program amongst folks who aren't experiencing the same challenges they may be experiencing of their lives. A LGBT rehab provides an environment that is free from judgment, where LGBT clients can be totally comfortable and safe revealing to their peers and rehabilitation counselors issues which need to be resolved in order to get well. Treatment counselors within a LGBT rehab will help clients fix relationships with their family, in the case their family disagree with their sexual preference as is often the case. This situation is an extremely common trigger for drug use, which is a good example of something which will be handled in rehab. LGBT clients often simply want to be accepted within their lives, and treatment will help them accept themselves and build confidence so that they can lead a healthy life free of drugs and alcohol.
