People can become addicted to drugs or alcohol no matter their handicap or particular physical problem. This often makes people even more vulnerable to getting involved in drug or alcohol addiction, because of the various challenges 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 rehab for substance abuse disorders is sometimes essential. Deaf or hearing impaired people will require ASL or other support as part of their treatment program, and there are alcohol and drug rehabilitation facilities accessible throughout the Penfield area which cater to these needs. Professional drug rehab counselors who understand the need for ASL and can supply other necessary help to deaf or hearing impaired substance abusers are readily available in a number of drug rehabilitation programs around Penfield and in the country.
