Individuals may become addicted to drugs or alcohol no matter their handicap or particular physical problem. This sometimes makes people even more vulnerable to becoming involved in drug or alcohol addiction, due to the varying issues that may be a factor in the individual's life. This is the case for people in the deaf and hearing impaired community also, and treatment for substance abuse problems is often required. Deaf or hearing impaired people often need ASL or other assistance as part of their drug rehab plan, and there are drug treatment programs available throughout the Palmyra area which cater to these needs. Skilled drug rehab counselors who know ASL and can supply other necessary help to deaf or hearing impaired addicted individuals are readily available in a number of drug rehabilitation centers around Palmyra and around the nation.
