People can become addicted to alcohol or drugs despite a handicap or particular physical issue. This sometimes makes individuals significantly more susceptible to getting involved in drug or alcohol addiction, because of the varying issues that may be a factor in the perspon's life. This is the case for individuals in the deaf and hearing impaired community also, and drug rehab for substance abuse disorders is sometimes essential. Deaf or hearing impaired persons will require ASL or other support as part of their drug rehab plan, and there are drug and alcohol treatment facilities available throughout the Kittery area which specifically help fill these special needs. Professional treatment counselors who understand the need for ASL and can provide other necessary assistance to deaf or hearing impaired addicted individuals are readily available in several drug rehab facilities around Kittery and in the country.
