Individuals can become addicted to alcohol or drugs no matter their handicap or personal physical challenge. This often makes persons significantly more vulnerable to becoming involved in alcohol or drug addiction, due to the unique problems that may be a factor in the individual's life. This is true for persons in the deaf and hearing impaired community as well, and drug rehab for drug and alcohol abuse issues is sometimes essential. Deaf or hearing impaired persons often need ASL or other help as part of their drug rehab plan, and there are drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers available throughout the Pomfret Center area which cater to these needs. Expert treatment counselors who know ASL and can supply other necessary help to deaf or hearing impaired substance abusers are readily available in many drug rehab facilities around Pomfret Center and in the United States.
