People may become addicted to drugs or alcohol despite a handicap or unique physical problem. This sometimes makes people particularly more vulnerable to getting involved in drug or alcohol addiction, as a result of the varying issues that may pop up 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 often needed. Deaf or hearing impaired persons often need ASL or other support as part of their drug rehab plan, and there are alcohol and drug rehabilitation facilities available throughout the Linden area which cater to these special needs. Expert drug rehab counselors who understand the need for ASL and can provide other essential help to deaf or hearing impaired substance abusers are readily available in many drug and alcohol treatment programs around Linden and in the United States.
