Individuals may become addicted to drugs or alcohol no matter their handicap or personal physical challenge. This often makes persons significantly more susceptible to becoming involved in substance abuse, due to the unique issues that may pop up in the individual'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 sometimes needed. Deaf or hearing impaired people often require ASL or other support as part of their drug rehab program, and there are drug rehab facilities available throughout the North Babylon area which cater to these special needs. Skilled drug rehab counselors who understand the need for ASL and can offer other necessary help to deaf or hearing impaired substance abusers are readily available in several drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers around North Babylon and in the country.
