Men and women can become addicted to alcohol or drugs despite a handicap or particular physical challenge. This at times makes people particularly more vulnerable to getting involved in alcohol or drug addiction, because of the varying issues that this can bring in the individual's life. This is often a factor for persons in the deaf and hearing impaired community also, and treatment for substance abuse disorders is sometimes essential. Deaf or hearing impaired people will require ASL or other support as part of their drug rehab plan, and there are drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers accessible throughout the Rye area which specifically help fill these special needs. Expert treatment counselors who understand the need for ASL and can supply other necessary help to deaf or hearing impaired substance abusers are readily available in a number of drug rehab programs around Rye and in the country.
