Individuals may become addicted to drugs no matter their handicap or personal physical problem. This often makes people even more vulnerable to becoming involved in alcohol or drug addiction, due to the unique problems 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 disorders is sometimes needed. Deaf or hearing impaired persons will require ASL or other assistance as part of their rehab needs, and there are alcohol and drug rehabilitation facilities accessible throughout the Sloatsburg, New York area which cater to these needs. Professional treatment counselors who know ASL and can provide other necessary help to deaf or hearing impaired addicted individuals are readily available in many drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers around Sloatsburg, New York and in the United States.
