Abstract
Some groups within our society are at a greater risk for the abuse of alcohol, tobacco, and other drugs (ATOD) than other groups are. People with disabilities or others with special needs are identified as high-risk groups. Although this reality is generally recognized by agencies serving these individuals, it is not always clear how an agency should respond to these needs. General substance abuse policies and procedures may not be appropriate for some populations or settings. Unique approaches are called for, but there are few sources of information on this topic. Here we present a concept paper regarding the establishment of such policies and procedures.
