People can become addicted to alcohol or drugs despite a handicap or unique physical challenge. This at times makes individuals even more susceptible to becoming involved in alcohol or drug addiction, due to the unique problems that this can bring in the individual's life. This is true for individuals in the deaf and hearing impaired community also, and treatment for substance abuse disorders is sometimes required. Deaf or hearing impaired individuals will need ASL or other support as part of their treatment needs, and there are drug treatment centers available throughout the Byron, New York area which cater to these special needs. Skilled drug rehab counselors who know ASL and can offer other crucial assistance to deaf or hearing impaired substance abusers are readily available in many drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities around Byron, New York and in the country.
