Men and women can become addicted to drugs or alcohol despite a handicap or particular physical challenge. This sometimes makes individuals particularly more susceptible to getting involved in substance abuse, as a result of the unique problems 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 treatment for alcohol and drug abuse disorders is often required. Deaf or hearing impaired persons will need ASL or other help as part of their treatment needs, and there are drug rehabilitation centers accessible throughout the Hudson area which cater to these special needs. Professional drug rehab counselors who know ASL and can provide other crucial help to deaf or hearing impaired substance abusers are readily accessible in many drug rehab programs around Hudson and in the United States.
