Individuals may become addicted to alcohol or drugs despite a handicap or particular physical issue. This sometimes makes persons significantly more vulnerable to becoming involved in drug or alcohol addiction, due to the unique challenges that may be a factor in the individual's life. This is the case for people in the deaf and hearing impaired community as well, and rehab for alcohol and drug abuse problems is sometimes required. Deaf or hearing impaired individuals will require ASL or other support as part of their drug rehab program, and there are alcohol and drug treatment facilities accessible throughout the Stow, Maine area which specifically help fill these special needs. Skilled treatment counselors who understand the need for ASL and can offer other necessary assistance to deaf or hearing impaired substance abusers are readily available in several drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs around Stow, Maine and in the country.
