Men and women can become addicted to alcohol or drugs no matter their handicap or particular physical problem. This sometimes makes people even more susceptible to getting involved in substance abuse, because of the various problems that may pop up in the individual's life. This is often a factor for individuals in the deaf and hearing impaired community also, and drug rehab for substance abuse disorders is often necessary. Deaf or hearing impaired individuals will require ASL or other assistance as part of their rehab needs, and there are drug rehab centers available throughout the Rochester area which cater to these special needs. Skilled drug rehab counselors who understand the need for ASL and can offer other necessary assistance to deaf or hearing impaired addicted individuals are readily accessible in several drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities around Rochester and in the country.
