People can become addicted to drugs despite a handicap or particular physical challenge. This often makes people particularly more vulnerable to becoming involved in alcohol or drug addiction, as a result of the various issues that this can bring in the individual's life. This is the case for individuals in the deaf and hearing impaired community as well, and drug rehab for alcohol and drug abuse problems is often necessary. Deaf or hearing impaired persons will need ASL or other help as part of their rehab program, and there are drug and alcohol treatment centers available throughout the Fairfield area which specifically help fill these needs. Skilled treatment counselors who know ASL and can supply other essential assistance to deaf or hearing impaired addicted individuals are readily available in many drug treatment programs around Fairfield and in the country.
