People may become addicted to drugs or alcohol despite a handicap or personal physical problem. This at times makes persons significantly more vulnerable to becoming involved in alcohol or drug addiction, as a result of the unique challenges that this can bring in the perspon's life. This is true for persons in the deaf and hearing impaired community as well, and rehab for substance abuse issues is often required. Deaf or hearing impaired individuals will need ASL or other support as part of their drug rehab program, and there are drug rehab facilities available throughout the Aurora area which cater to these needs. Professional treatment counselors who know ASL and can provide other necessary assistance to deaf or hearing impaired addicted individuals are readily accessible in many drug treatment programs around Aurora and in the United States.
