This often makes people particularly more susceptible to becoming involved in drug or alcohol addiction, due to the unique issues that may be a factor in the perspon's life. This is often a factor for people in the deaf and hearing impaired community also, and drug rehab for substance abuse problems is sometimes necessary.

Skilled treatment counselors who know ASL and can supply other necessary help to deaf or hearing impaired addicted individuals are readily available in a number of drug rehab facilities around Cold Spring Harbor and in the country.
