Men and women may become addicted to drugs or alcohol no matter their handicap or personal physical problem. This sometimes makes individuals even more vulnerable to getting involved in substance abuse, because of the various problems that may be a factor in the perspon's life. This is the case for people in the deaf and hearing impaired community as well, and treatment for substance abuse problems is sometimes required. Deaf or hearing impaired persons will require ASL or other support as part of their drug rehab needs, and there are alcohol and drug treatment facilities accessible throughout the Caldwell area which specifically help fill these needs. Skilled drug rehab counselors who know ASL and can provide other essential assistance to deaf or hearing impaired substance abusers are readily accessible in many drug rehab programs around Caldwell and around the nation.
