Men and women may become addicted to drugs or alcohol despite a handicap or personal physical issue. This at times makes individuals particularly more susceptible to becoming involved in substance abuse, because of the varying challenges that may be a factor in the individual's life. This is true for individuals in the deaf and hearing impaired community also, and drug rehab for alcohol and drug abuse issues is sometimes necessary. Deaf or hearing impaired individuals often require ASL or other support as part of their treatment plan, and there are drug rehab programs available throughout the Monsey area which specifically help fill these special needs. Professional treatment counselors who understand the need for ASL and can provide other essential help to deaf or hearing impaired substance abusers are readily available in a number of drug rehab centers around Monsey and in the United States.
