Individuals can become addicted to alcohol or drugs despite a handicap or personal physical problem. This often makes persons particularly more vulnerable to getting involved in drug or alcohol addiction, due to the unique issues that this can bring in the individual's life. This is the case for persons in the deaf and hearing impaired community also, and drug rehab for alcohol and drug abuse problems is sometimes necessary. Deaf or hearing impaired people will need ASL or other help as part of their treatment program, and there are alcohol and drug treatment centers available throughout the Danevang area which specifically help fill these special needs. Professional treatment counselors who know ASL and can offer other essential assistance to deaf or hearing impaired substance abusers are readily available in several drug treatment programs around Danevang and in the United States.
