Men and women can become addicted to drugs no matter their handicap or personal physical problem. This at times makes people significantly more vulnerable to becoming involved in drug or alcohol addiction, due to the varying challenges that may pop up in the individual's life. This is often a factor for people in the deaf and hearing impaired community as well, and rehab for substance abuse problems is sometimes necessary. Deaf or hearing impaired individuals will require ASL or other support as part of their rehab program, and there are alcohol and drug rehab programs available throughout the Eastover area which cater to these special needs. Professional treatment counselors who understand the need for ASL and can offer other necessary assistance to deaf or hearing impaired substance abusers are readily available in a number of drug and alcohol treatment facilities around Eastover and around the nation.
