Individuals can become addicted to drugs or alcohol despite a handicap or personal physical problem. This sometimes makes individuals significantly more susceptible to getting involved in substance abuse, due to the varying problems that may be a factor in the individual's life. This is the case for persons in the deaf and hearing impaired community as well, and rehab for substance abuse problems is sometimes necessary. Deaf or hearing impaired persons will require ASL or other support as part of their drug rehab plan, and there are drug rehab centers available throughout the Highland Park area which cater to these needs. Skilled treatment counselors who know ASL and can supply other necessary help to deaf or hearing impaired substance abusers are readily available in a number of drug and alcohol rehab centers around Highland Park and in the United States.
