Individuals can become addicted to drugs or alcohol no matter their handicap or personal physical challenge. This at times makes persons particularly more susceptible to getting involved in drug or alcohol addiction, due to the various issues that may be a factor in the individual's life. This is often a factor for persons in the deaf and hearing impaired community also, and drug rehab for alcohol and drug abuse issues is often required. Deaf or hearing impaired persons will require ASL or other support as part of their treatment program, and there are alcohol and drug rehabilitation programs available throughout the Tomkins Cove area which specifically help fill these special needs. Professional drug rehab counselors who understand the need for ASL and can offer other necessary assistance to deaf or hearing impaired addicted individuals are readily available in a number of drug treatment facilities around Tomkins Cove and around the nation.
