People can become addicted to drugs no matter their handicap or unique physical challenge. This often makes persons particularly more susceptible to getting involved in alcohol or drug addiction, because of the varying problems that may pop up in the individual's life. This is true for persons in the deaf and hearing impaired community as well, and treatment for alcohol and drug abuse disorders is sometimes required. Deaf or hearing impaired persons often need ASL or other assistance as part of their rehab plan, and there are drug treatment programs accessible throughout the Center area which cater to these needs. Expert drug rehab counselors who understand the need for ASL and can provide other necessary help to deaf or hearing impaired substance abusers are readily accessible in many drug rehab centers around Center and in the United States.
