People can become addicted to alcohol or drugs despite a handicap or particular physical problem. This sometimes makes individuals significantly more susceptible to becoming involved in alcohol or drug addiction, because of the various challenges that may pop up in the individual's life. This is the case for people in the deaf and hearing impaired community as well, and rehab for substance abuse problems is often necessary. Deaf or hearing impaired persons will require ASL or other assistance as part of their drug rehab plan, and there are drug treatment facilities accessible throughout the Bethlehem area which cater to these special needs. Expert drug rehab counselors who understand the need for ASL and can supply other necessary assistance to deaf or hearing impaired addicted individuals are readily available in a number of drug and alcohol treatment facilities around Bethlehem and around the nation.
