LGBT stands for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and there are programs which address the particular needs of these clients. Those who are LGBT can often feel alone, misunderstood, and seen as socially depraved. This can be an extremely tough and painful existence, and leads many LGBT people to a lifestyle of drug use to alleviate this pain. Somebody who is LGBT may not feel comfortable within a traditional treatment center amongst people who aren't experiencing the same challenges they are experiencing in their lives. A LGBT center offers an environment which is free from judgment, where LGBT clients can feel completely comfortable and safe divulging to their peers and rehabilitation counselors problems which should be resolved so that they can get well. Treatment counselors in the LGBT rehab can help clients fix relationships with their family members, in case their family disagree with their sexual preference as is often the case. This situation is definitely a common trigger for abusing drugs, and is also a good example of a thing that can be resolved in rehab. LGBT clients often would like to be accepted within their lives, and rehab will help them accept themselves and build confidence so that they can lead a healthy life without any drugs and alcohol.
