Men and women can become addicted to drugs or alcohol no matter their handicap or particular physical issue. This at times makes persons significantly more vulnerable to becoming involved in drug or alcohol addiction, because of the unique issues that this can bring in the individual's life. This is often a factor for people in the deaf and hearing impaired community as well, and treatment for substance abuse disorders is sometimes required. Deaf or hearing impaired persons will require ASL or other support as part of their rehab needs, and there are alcohol and drug treatment centers accessible throughout the Old Greenwich area which cater to these special needs. Professional drug rehab counselors who know ASL and can offer other necessary assistance to deaf or hearing impaired substance abusers are readily accessible in several drug rehabilitation centers around Old Greenwich and around the nation.
