People can become addicted to drugs despite a handicap or particular physical problem. This sometimes makes individuals even more vulnerable to getting involved in substance abuse, because of the various issues that this can bring in the individual's life. This is the case for people 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 support as part of their treatment program, and there are drug and alcohol rehab programs available throughout the Remsen area which cater to these needs. Expert treatment counselors who know ASL and can supply other necessary assistance to deaf or hearing impaired substance abusers are readily available in a number of drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers around Remsen and around the nation.
