LGBT represents lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are centers which address the unique needs of these clients. Individuals who are LGBT can feel alone, not understood, and viewed as socially unwanted. This is sometimes a very hard and painful existence, and leads many LGBT individuals to a life of drug abuse to numb this pain. Someone who is LGBT might not exactly feel comfortable inside a traditional rehab program amongst people who aren't experiencing the same problems they are experiencing in their lives. A LGBT program offers an environment which can be totally free of judgment, where LGBT clients can feel completely comfortable and safe revealing to their peers and rehab counselors issues which have to be resolved so that they can get well. Rehab counselors in a LGBT rehab can help clients mend relationships with their loved ones, in the event their family disagree with their sexual preference as is generally the case. This situation is an extremely frequent trigger for substance abuse, and is an illustration of an issue that can be handled in rehab. LGBT clients often just want to be accepted in their lives, and treatment will help them accept themselves and create confidence in order to lead a healthy life free from drugs and alcohol.
