Men and women can become addicted to drugs or alcohol despite a handicap or unique physical challenge. This often makes people significantly more vulnerable to getting involved in substance abuse, as a result of the varying challenges that may be a factor in the perspon's life. This is true for individuals in the deaf and hearing impaired community as well, and rehab for drug and alcohol abuse issues is often needed. Deaf or hearing impaired individuals often need ASL or other help as part of their rehab program, and there are alcohol and drug treatment programs available throughout the Boonton area which specifically help fill these needs. Professional drug rehab counselors who understand the need for ASL and can offer other essential assistance to deaf or hearing impaired addicted individuals are readily accessible in a number of drug and alcohol rehab programs around Boonton and in the United States.
