Men and women can become addicted to drugs or alcohol despite a handicap or personal physical problem. This sometimes makes persons significantly more vulnerable to becoming involved in drug or alcohol addiction, as a result of the unique issues that this can bring in the perspon's life. This is the case for people in the deaf and hearing impaired community also, and rehab for substance abuse problems is often necessary. Deaf or hearing impaired persons will require ASL or other assistance as part of their treatment plan, and there are drug rehab facilities available throughout the East Schodack, New York area which specifically help fill these special needs. Skilled drug rehab counselors who understand the need for ASL and can offer other necessary assistance to deaf or hearing impaired addicted individuals are readily available in several drug and alcohol rehab centers around East Schodack, New York and in the country.
