People may become addicted to alcohol or drugs no matter their handicap or unique physical problem. This often makes persons particularly more vulnerable to becoming involved in alcohol or drug addiction, because of the various problems that may pop up in the individual's life. This is the case for persons in the deaf and hearing impaired community as well, and rehab for drug and alcohol abuse disorders is often required. Deaf or hearing impaired individuals often require ASL or other support as part of their treatment program, and there are drug treatment centers available throughout the South Egremont area which specifically help fill these needs. Expert drug rehab counselors who know ASL and can offer other essential assistance to deaf or hearing impaired substance abusers are readily available in several drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities around South Egremont and in the United States.
