Individuals can become addicted to drugs no matter their handicap or particular physical issue. This at times makes people even more vulnerable to becoming involved in drug or alcohol addiction, because of the unique issues that this can bring in the individual's life. This is often a factor for persons in the deaf and hearing impaired community also, and rehab for substance abuse disorders is often necessary. Deaf or hearing impaired people often need ASL or other help as part of their drug rehab program, and there are drug and alcohol rehab programs accessible throughout the Gilby area which specifically help fill these special needs. Skilled treatment counselors who know ASL and can provide other essential help to deaf or hearing impaired addicted individuals are readily accessible in many drug rehab programs around Gilby and in the country.
