Men and women can become addicted to alcohol or drugs no matter their handicap or personal physical issue. This often makes persons particularly more susceptible to becoming involved in drug or alcohol addiction, due to the varying issues that may pop up in the individual's life. This is often a factor for individuals in the deaf and hearing impaired community also, and rehab for substance abuse disorders is often required. Deaf or hearing impaired persons often require ASL or other help as part of their treatment program, and there are drug and alcohol treatment centers available throughout the Brunswick area which cater to these special needs. Skilled treatment counselors who know ASL and can supply other essential assistance to deaf or hearing impaired substance abusers are readily available in many drug and alcohol rehab centers around Brunswick and around the nation.
