Men and women may become addicted to alcohol or drugs despite a handicap or unique physical issue. This often makes persons significantly more vulnerable to getting involved in alcohol or drug addiction, due to the various challenges that may be a factor in the perspon's life. This is true for people in the deaf and hearing impaired community as well, and rehab for drug and alcohol abuse problems is sometimes essential. Deaf or hearing impaired persons will need ASL or other help as part of their treatment needs, and there are drug and alcohol treatment programs accessible throughout the Croydon area which specifically help fill these needs. Professional treatment counselors who know ASL and can provide other necessary help to deaf or hearing impaired substance abusers are readily available in numerous drug and alcohol rehab programs around Croydon and in the country.
