Men and women can become addicted to alcohol or drugs no matter their handicap or particular physical problem. This at times makes people even more vulnerable to becoming involved in alcohol or drug addiction, due to the various issues that may pop up in the perspon's life. This is often a factor for people in the deaf and hearing impaired community as well, and rehab for alcohol and drug abuse disorders is often necessary. Deaf or hearing impaired individuals often require ASL or other support as part of their rehab program, and there are drug treatment centers accessible throughout the New Hope area which cater to these special needs. Skilled drug rehab counselors who know ASL and can supply other necessary assistance to deaf or hearing impaired addicted individuals are readily accessible in a number of drug rehab programs around New Hope and in the country.
