People may become addicted to alcohol or drugs despite a handicap or personal physical challenge. This at times makes people particularly more vulnerable to becoming involved in drug or alcohol addiction, because of the varying issues that may pop up in the individual's life. This is the case for persons in the deaf and hearing impaired community as well, and drug rehab for alcohol and drug abuse problems is often needed. Deaf or hearing impaired persons often require ASL or other help as part of their treatment program, and there are alcohol and drug rehabilitation programs available throughout the Bridgeport area which specifically help fill these needs. Professional drug rehab counselors who know ASL and can provide other essential help to deaf or hearing impaired substance abusers are readily accessible in numerous drug and alcohol rehab programs around Bridgeport and in the country.
