Men and women can become addicted to drugs despite a handicap or personal physical issue. This often makes persons significantly more vulnerable to getting involved in alcohol or drug addiction, because of the various issues that may be a factor in the individual's life. This is true for people in the deaf and hearing impaired community as well, and rehab for drug and alcohol abuse issues is sometimes needed. Deaf or hearing impaired persons often need ASL or other assistance as part of their drug rehab needs, and there are drug rehabilitation facilities available throughout the Vestal area which cater to these special needs. Skilled drug rehab counselors who understand the need for ASL and can supply other essential assistance to deaf or hearing impaired addicted individuals are readily available in a number of drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities around Vestal and in the country.
