People can become addicted to drugs or alcohol despite a handicap or personal physical problem. This sometimes makes persons even more susceptible to getting involved in alcohol or drug addiction, as a result of the various issues that may be a factor in the perspon's life. This is often a factor for individuals in the deaf and hearing impaired community as well, and treatment for alcohol and drug abuse issues is sometimes necessary. Deaf or hearing impaired persons will require ASL or other support as part of their rehab program, and there are alcohol and drug rehab programs available throughout the Glenn area which specifically help fill these special needs. Expert treatment counselors who know ASL and can supply other necessary help to deaf or hearing impaired addicted individuals are readily accessible in a number of drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers around Glenn and around the nation.
