Individuals may become addicted to drugs despite a handicap or unique physical problem. This at times makes people particularly more vulnerable to becoming involved in alcohol or drug addiction, due to the various issues that may pop up 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 often required. Deaf or hearing impaired persons will require ASL or other help as part of their drug rehab plan, and there are alcohol and drug rehabilitation facilities available throughout the White Plains area which specifically help fill these needs. Skilled drug rehab counselors who understand the need for ASL and can supply other essential help to deaf or hearing impaired addicted individuals are readily available in several drug and alcohol treatment programs around White Plains and in the United States.
