Individuals can become addicted to drugs or alcohol despite a handicap or personal physical challenge. This often makes individuals significantly more vulnerable to getting involved in drug or alcohol addiction, due to the varying 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 drug rehab for alcohol and drug abuse problems is often essential. Deaf or hearing impaired persons will require ASL or other support as part of their rehab program, and there are drug and alcohol treatment facilities available throughout the Hudson area which specifically help fill these needs. Professional treatment counselors who know ASL and can provide other necessary assistance to deaf or hearing impaired substance abusers are readily available in a number of drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers around Hudson and in the United States.
