Men and women may become addicted to alcohol or drugs despite a handicap or particular physical problem. This at times makes individuals even more susceptible to becoming involved in alcohol or drug addiction, because of the unique challenges that may be a factor in the individual's life. This is the case for individuals in the deaf and hearing impaired community as well, and drug rehab for drug and alcohol abuse disorders is sometimes required. Deaf or hearing impaired individuals often require ASL or other support as part of their treatment needs, and there are drug treatment centers available throughout the Hudson area which specifically help fill these needs. Skilled drug rehab counselors who understand the need for ASL and can supply other essential help to deaf or hearing impaired substance abusers are readily available in several drug and alcohol rehab programs around Hudson and in the country.
