People can become addicted to alcohol or drugs no matter their handicap or particular physical problem. This often makes individuals even more vulnerable to getting involved in substance abuse, because of the unique issues that may be a factor in the individual's life. This is the case for people in the deaf and hearing impaired community also, and rehab for substance abuse problems is often needed. Deaf or hearing impaired individuals often need ASL or other help as part of their drug rehab program, and there are drug rehabilitation facilities available throughout the New Providence area which cater to these needs. Professional treatment counselors who understand the need for ASL and can provide other necessary help to deaf or hearing impaired addicted individuals are readily accessible in a number of drug and alcohol treatment facilities around New Providence and in the United States.
