Individuals may become addicted to drugs or alcohol despite a handicap or personal physical challenge. This at times makes individuals even more susceptible to getting involved in drug or alcohol addiction, because of the unique issues that may pop up in the individual's life. This is true for persons in the deaf and hearing impaired community as well, and treatment for drug and alcohol abuse issues is often required. Deaf or hearing impaired individuals will need ASL or other assistance as part of their rehab needs, and there are alcohol and drug rehab facilities accessible throughout the Hinckley area which specifically help fill these needs. Skilled drug rehab 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 treatment facilities around Hinckley and in the United States.
