Men and women may become addicted to drugs or alcohol no matter their handicap or particular physical problem. This at times makes persons particularly more vulnerable to becoming involved in alcohol or drug addiction, as a result of the various challenges that may be a factor in the individual's life. This is often a factor for persons in the deaf and hearing impaired community as well, and drug rehab for substance abuse problems is often necessary. Deaf or hearing impaired people often require ASL or other help as part of their drug rehab program, and there are drug and alcohol treatment facilities accessible throughout the North Bergen area which specifically help fill these special needs. Professional drug rehab counselors who understand the need for ASL and can provide other essential help to deaf or hearing impaired substance abusers are readily accessible in many drug and alcohol treatment facilities around North Bergen and around the nation.
