Individuals can become addicted to drugs or alcohol despite a handicap or unique physical issue. This sometimes makes individuals particularly more susceptible to getting involved in drug or alcohol addiction, as a result of the varying challenges that may be a factor in the perspon's life. This is true for people in the deaf and hearing impaired community as well, and rehab for drug and alcohol abuse issues is often needed. Deaf or hearing impaired individuals often require ASL or other support as part of their rehab plan, and there are drug treatment facilities accessible throughout the Broadway area which specifically help fill these special needs. Expert treatment counselors who understand the need for ASL and can provide other necessary help to deaf or hearing impaired addicted individuals are readily accessible in many drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs around Broadway and in the country.
