Individuals can become addicted to drugs despite a handicap or unique physical issue. This often makes individuals particularly more susceptible to getting involved in drug or alcohol addiction, because of the varying problems that may be a factor in the perspon's life. This is the case for people in the deaf and hearing impaired community as well, and treatment for drug and alcohol abuse disorders is sometimes required. Deaf or hearing impaired people will need ASL or other support as part of their drug rehab program, and there are drug treatment centers available throughout the Southport, Connecticut area which cater to these special needs. Professional treatment counselors who know ASL and can provide other necessary help to deaf or hearing impaired substance abusers are readily accessible in numerous drug rehab facilities around Southport, Connecticut and around the nation.
