Individuals can become addicted to alcohol or drugs no matter their handicap or particular physical challenge. This sometimes makes individuals particularly more susceptible to getting involved in substance abuse, due to the various challenges that may pop up in the individual's life. This is the case for people in the deaf and hearing impaired community as well, and treatment for drug and alcohol abuse issues is often needed. Deaf or hearing impaired people often need ASL or other support as part of their drug rehab plan, and there are alcohol and drug treatment programs accessible throughout the Danbury area which cater to these special needs. Expert drug rehab counselors who know ASL and can provide other essential help to deaf or hearing impaired substance abusers are readily accessible in several drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs around Danbury and around the nation.
