Men and women may become addicted to alcohol or drugs despite a handicap or particular physical challenge. This sometimes makes people particularly more susceptible to getting involved in substance abuse, as a result of the various problems that this can bring in the perspon's life. This is true for persons in the deaf and hearing impaired community as well, and treatment for alcohol and drug abuse disorders is often required. Deaf or hearing impaired people will require ASL or other help as part of their rehab needs, and there are alcohol and drug rehabilitation programs available throughout the New Kent area which cater to these special needs. Professional treatment counselors who understand the need for ASL and can offer other necessary help to deaf or hearing impaired substance abusers are readily accessible in many drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs around New Kent and in the country.
