People may become addicted to drugs or alcohol no matter their handicap or personal physical problem. This sometimes makes people even more vulnerable to becoming involved in drug or alcohol addiction, because of the unique problems that may pop up in the individual's life.

Deaf or hearing impaired people will need ASL or other assistance as part of their treatment plan, and there are alcohol and drug rehabilitation programs accessible throughout the Hampden, ME. 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 substance abusers are readily accessible in a number of drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers around Hampden, ME. and around the nation.
