Men and women can become addicted to alcohol or drugs no matter their handicap or particular physical problem. This at times makes people particularly more vulnerable to becoming involved in alcohol or drug addiction, due to the varying issues that may be a factor in the perspon's life. This is true for people in the deaf and hearing impaired community also, and treatment for alcohol and drug abuse disorders is often required. Deaf or hearing impaired individuals often need ASL or other assistance as part of their treatment needs, and there are alcohol and drug rehab centers available throughout the York area which cater to these needs. Skilled drug rehab counselors who know ASL and can provide other essential assistance to deaf or hearing impaired addicted individuals are readily accessible in a number of drug rehab centers around York and in the country.
