Individuals may become addicted to drugs no matter their handicap or personal physical issue. This at times makes individuals particularly more susceptible to becoming involved in alcohol or drug addiction, because of the varying challenges that this can bring in the individual's life. This is true for individuals in the deaf and hearing impaired community as well, and rehab for drug and alcohol abuse issues is sometimes necessary. Deaf or hearing impaired individuals often need ASL or other support as part of their treatment program, and there are drug treatment programs available throughout the Linden area which specifically help fill these needs. Expert drug rehab counselors who understand the need for ASL and can offer other essential assistance to deaf or hearing impaired substance abusers are readily accessible in several drug and alcohol treatment programs around Linden and in the country.
