Individuals can become addicted to alcohol or drugs despite a handicap or particular physical problem. This often makes persons significantly more susceptible to getting involved in substance abuse, as a result of the varying challenges 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 drug rehab for substance abuse disorders is sometimes essential. Deaf or hearing impaired persons often need ASL or other support as part of their rehab needs, and there are drug and alcohol rehab facilities available throughout the Tuckahoe area which cater to these special needs. Professional treatment counselors who understand the need for ASL and can supply other essential help to deaf or hearing impaired substance abusers are readily accessible in many drug and alcohol treatment facilities around Tuckahoe and in the United States.
