Men and women can become addicted to alcohol or drugs despite a handicap or personal physical issue. This often makes persons particularly more susceptible to becoming involved in drug or alcohol addiction, due to the varying challenges that this can bring in the individual's life. This is true for people in the deaf and hearing impaired community as well, and treatment for drug and alcohol abuse disorders is often necessary. Deaf or hearing impaired persons will need ASL or other help as part of their rehab program, and there are drug rehabilitation facilities accessible throughout the Sullivan City area which cater to these special needs. Professional treatment counselors who understand the need for ASL and can provide other essential help to deaf or hearing impaired substance abusers are readily available in a number of drug rehab programs around Sullivan City and in the country.
